Private vs. Public — BHVR is a Privately Held Company, like Epic Games & Valve. The only shareholders they have are related to DBD mobile, so there&
#039;s no pressure to please external sources or keep public stocks high. This unfortunately gives them more control over hiring, firing, layoffs, and other large business decisions without high public scrutiny (off Twitter lol) or worry about shareholders. Working for privately owned companies can be a big risk as seen in BHVR&
#039;s 2024 workforce changes. While layoffs and business changes can be a necessary evil to keep companies afloat, it&
#039;s unfortunate that good, hardworking people are affected by bad exec level business decisions.
These execs may not be evil or bad people, but they make bad decisions in a tough market that affects innocent people, and that culture needs to be adjusted.
