IO interactive gör sig av med folk

Det är hårda tider för mer eller mindre alla i denna globala ekonomiska kris som vi går igenom just nu. Det danska spelföretaget IO Interactive är inget undantag. Square Enix (som äger IO) har bekräftat att dom kommer att få lov att säga upp folk. 35st från Kane & Lynch 2 teamet har redan fått lov att gå (det hände i förra veckan).

"We are sorry to have to say goodbye to employees, but it is a natural process when working in a project organization," said general manager Niels Jorgensen. "Our industry is highly influenced by the individual projects, and we should be making an adjustment to how many employees are attached. IO will still continue to make fantastic games at the level we do now. It's just a question that should not be so many to the stage of our projects is now."

"Every studio has to take decisions to ensure it is operating effectively as projects start up and ramp down. IO Interactive has assessed the internal and external resources needed to support its pipeline and this has led to organizational changes which will include the loss of some roles at the studio."

"We believe that this decision will make IO continue to deliver great games and add momentum to our operations. We would like to thank all employees affected for their contribution and efforts and wish them well in their future careers." - Square Enix - IGN

Är aldrig roligt att bli av med sitt jobb. Bara hoppas att killarna och tjejerna som torskat sina jobb på IO hittar jobb på annat håll och att dom ekonomiska vindarna vänder snart.
