Probably they will also fire remaining 15 people and move everything to Italy.

Their strategy is to

- fire everyone,

- give product to very small but ambitious team of people

- cut free version of the product to minimum even if does not make a sense to have a free version such as 5 video upload per month etc (they are doing this just to avoid backlash from users and community)

- use every possible dark pattern exist to get every penny from the users

I am working as a Software engineer in a European bank. There is a huge multi year program to remove COBOL as much as possible with cloud based Java Spring application.

The main reason is maintainability. There is no more cobol developers coming. Existing ones close to retirement or already retired.
