NCSoft Announces Layoffs Hitting Seattle Branch
Layoffs right before Christmas? That is cold, NCSoft. After an anonymous source tipped off PC Gamer, the news has come forward that the Seattle offices of NCSoft are undergoing realignment, meaning several positions are no longer in existence. NCSoft’s Public Relations Manager Lincoln Davis said to PC Gamer:
“NCsoft is realigning internal publishing resources to better suit the needs of our game development studios. As a result of the realignment, several employees and contract positions were affected. This was a very tough decision to make and wish the best for all NCsoft employees in their next ventures.”
Reportedly there has been no impact on development at ArenaNet (Guild Wars) or Carbine Studios (Wildstar), or for that matter just how many were laid off.
