According to reporter Gauthier Andres, Vitas plans to lay off 300 employees this time, accounting for 7% of the company's total employees.The layoffs will affect several working locations in the United States, Asia and Europe, including three branches in France.Andres said the layoffs "initially targeted the Chinese region" but then affected other regions.

Andres also pointed out that in the successful project of "The Elder Scrolls 4: Remake", Vitas adopted the policy of "high quality first but cost overrun" and signed a "royalty-free contract", and even if the game was successful, there would be no additional dividends.And the contract may have caused the company to miss out on the profits it could have obtained.

"The result is: the team is under tremendous pressure for a game to showcase their strength, and its profitability is also questioned," Andres explained.

It is reported that after the development of "The Elder Scrolls 4: Remake" was completed, Vitas frozen the salary increase policy and cut employee bonuses, which caused employees to worry about layoffs.After news of the layoffs broke out, Vitas Lyon Studios has launched a strike to protest the layoffs and protect “the segment’s future capacity.”
