Payday 3 Developers at Starbreeze Face Another Round of Layoffs
Once again, employees at Starbreeze are facing the all-too-familiar problems of the gaming industry, forcing the studio's management to implement another series of layoffs.
At the time of this news publication, Starbreeze itself had not made any announcements. The layoffs became known only through updates on the LinkedIn pages of affected developers. It appears a final decision has not yet been made:
Today, many of us at Starbreeze received sad news, and now I am looking for a new job. After more than 7 years of work (longer than I have ever worked at any company or in any industry), my time seems to have come to an end. Alexander Pereswetoff-Morath, QA Specialist
Due to recent layoffs at Starbreeze, my position is at risk, so I am starting to think about what to do next. Sabina af Jochnick, Senior Technical Producer
How these changes will affect support for the already troubled Payday 3 is unknown. For now, we can only wait for statements from the studio's leadership.
