The evaluation of the industry of Callisto is not good, and the developers have laid off a lot of staff.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, August 3 (Xinhua)-- Striking Distance Studios, the developer of Callisto, has played a lot of "magic operations" before. IT House reported earlier that the developer openly claimed to support "996" in order to ensure that the game was released on schedule, but after the game was launched, many employees' names were removed from the game thank-you list because of "office politics." And the quality of the game is not satisfactory, foreign media NeoWin editors play "Callisto agreement" after "angry and apply for Steam refund."

At present, the industry generally holds negative comments on the Callisto Agreement, so the sales of the game can be imagined. According to IGN, many former Striking Distance employees at LinkedIn said they had left the studio, including developers such as "coordinating staff", "visual effects", "level design" and "environmental design".
