Romero forced into lay-offs at Slipgate Ironworks
But MMO project soldiers on
John Romero's outfit, Slipgate Ironworks, have laid off a total of 50 developers as part of restructuring at the studio.
While this might sound like trouble for the firm, owners Gazillion have offered assurances over the developer's existence, with work still progressing on Romero's MMO title - albeit under a slightly new mandate.
"As part of our focus on reaching the widest possible audiences with breakthrough MMO entertainment, we decided to change the format of our project at Slipgate Ironworks to better achieve this aim," offers word from Gazillion.
"The game we'll launch will build on the efforts to date with a smaller core team and the other Slipgate staff are already in discussions around the many open positions across our slate of projects."
More from Slipgate as we get it.
