They tried to appease the shareholders rapacious greed by changing their business model to include royalties and other random fees, but that failed so now they've laid off 25% of the workforce to free up a lot of cash short term. This is a desperation move and they're never going to be able to provide the endless growth the shareholders demand. But the shareholders will be appeased for the next few months. So I guess it's a win?
