ALT “So in June, SIE said they wanted to have a Zoom call…They said they can no longer fund development for Physint. I was shocked and I said, 'What did you say?' I couldn’t quite process what they had said. I wasn’t sure because I was in shock… We didn’t understand the reason. I didn't have any anger or sadness; my first thought was, 'What am I going to do with my studio?' …If we lose one contract, I thought I might have to cut all the people working on Physint, right? Or our studio could end up collapsing because we’ll run out of cashflow."
