VMware laid off their US based Workstation/Fusion team a few years back and moved development over to China. The China based team was then laid off in 2021 with development moving to India.

This is the move for any business intending to cut costs to near 0 and ride out a user base subscription to inevitable product death.

I’ve seen this happen multiple times; there are whole companies with this as their business model.

Why did they do that? Is it because VirtualBox and containers destroyed the market for them? Not enough money to bother competing with Parallels?
