i suspect square was just "well the game's done so we're cutting 2/3rds of your staff" and the ones that remain are getting burnt out. doesn't make up for the lies or misinformation but i also suspect if they are running ragged then it might be them desperately trying to give some sort of excuse besides "well daddy square enix pockets all our cash and doesn't give any back" which would just get them fired.
Higher ups are all about NFT's. If that says enough.
