英國遊戲開發商Three Fields Entertainment(曾推出《危險高爾夫》《危險駕駛》等作品)日前宣布，由於發行商THQ Nordic對其新作《破壞創造王》"缺乏繼續開發的熱情與資金支持"，該工作室已"被迫向全體團隊發出裁員通知"。
Today I am having to share one of the hardest messages of my career. After twelve years of building and nurturing Three Fields Entertainment, I am forced into the situation of today placing our entire team on notice of redundancy. Since the launch of *Wreckreation*, our small studio has worked incredibly hard — with heart and dedication — to update the game, listen to our community, and deliver the fixes and features players asked for. I could not be prouder of the people I’ve worked alongside or the passion they’ve poured into this project. But the reality we now face is stark. As an independent studio, we will not see revenue from game sales for the foreseeable future. We have had to self-fund most of this year and all of the post launch content. Without the enthusiasm or financial support from our publisher to continue development, we simply cannot sustain the studio in its current form. Making this decision has been unbelievably painful. This is a heartbreaking moment for all of us. What makes it even harder is that we have so many things in the pipeline — multiple features, updates, and creative ideas that we were excited to bring to the game, many of which are showcased in the video we’re sharing today. These are things we genuinely believed would have continued to strengthen Wreckreation and grow its community. My hope is that by showing this work publicly, someone out there might also see that potential and perhaps an opportunity could still emerge. But even if that hope does not materialise, we want this to stand as a testament to our vision and to the strength, passion, and skill of our tiny team. I truly believe in the potential of this game and in the brilliance of the people who built it. To everyone who has supported us, played our games, or believed in our studio: thank you. Your support has meant the world - We will, again at our own cost, ensure the next update that includes a Crossplay feature does get published before Christmas and we hope you and your friends can enjoy the world that we have built together, whichever platform you play on.

Three Fields Entertainment於2022年公布《破壞創造王》，這款主打自定義內容的開放世界競速遊戲於今年10月登陸PC、PlayStation和Xbox平台。工作室首席執行官菲奧娜·斯佩里在社交媒體發布的長文中痛心表示："這對我們所有人來說都是心碎的時刻"，但希望通過公開表態能"讓有識之士看到這款遊戲的潛力"。
斯佩里寫道："自《破壞創造王》發售以來，我們的小型團隊懷著熱忱與奉獻精神，不斷更新遊戲、傾聽社群反饋、完善玩家期待的功能。我由衷為團隊夥伴感到驕傲，也為他們傾注的心血而感動。但我們面臨的現實很殘酷：作為獨立工作室，在可預見的未來將無法獲得遊戲銷售分成。""今年大部分時間及所有發售後續內容均為我們自籌資金。在缺乏發行商開發熱情與資金支持的情況下，工作室已無法維持現有規模。作出這個決定令人無比痛苦。"
斯佩里補充稱，由於持續自籌資金，工作室"在可預見的未來將無法獲得遊戲銷售收入"，當前運營難以為繼。值得注意的是，《破壞創造王》原屬母公司Embracer(THQ Nordic的控股方，這家瑞典集團曾收購後又裁撤大量工作室)計劃在2025/26財年推出的"76款不同遊戲"之一。
