Wildman Kickstarter Campaign Update #3, Significant Part of the Team Laid Off

The third update for the Wildman Kickstarter might well be the last one, as in the video tied to the update, Chris Taylor informs us of the company situation: a "substantial number of the team" has been laid off, to avoid being unable to provide them severance in case the campaign fails, and the Kickstarter campaign now seriously risks cancellation.

As for whether the Kickstarter campaign will continue (and the team rehired after the funding) or not, the burden falls on backer, as Chris Taylor asked them to give their votes in the video.

Grim stuff all around, although I can't help but wonder why the team has been laid off now rather than at the beginning of the campaign, and whether backers should really be making the decisions themselves. Either way, best of luck to everyone affected.
