End of Nations just can’t catch a break. At the end of November, we found out that the End of Nations beta would not be going forward until “further notice.” The reason behind the move was stated to be due to important issues that needed to be addressed before the game would be ready for wider consumption. While Petroglyph has stood by the statement that the game is not being cancelled, the fact that the company began refunding purchases made by players would seem to imply that while the game may not be scheduled for termination, that Petroglyph is not entirely sure if the game will ever make open beta.
Eurogamer picked up on good word that 30 people have been laid off at Petroglyph, confirmed somewhat via a Twitter post from writer and game designer Adam Stevens:
“Well, it appears this winter break will be extended indefinitely. Lay-offs at Petroglyph. Looking like I’ll be Leaving Las Vegas.”
Our thoughts go out to the affected employees, and we wish you all fast employment.
