The layoffs in the games industry continue and now it is PlayStation Studio-owned Media Molecule, the creators of the Little Big Planet series, among others, who are forced to lay off staff. In total, 15% of all employees are now leaving the company, which was revealed at an internal meeting during the day and also confirmed on social media by a spokesperson who said:
"We have had to make the difficult decision to begin the consultation process for team members within certain departments of the studio. This is a tough moment for the individuals impacted and the studio overall"
"Every single role that has been put at risk is delivered by someone who has contributed something special to Media Molecule. We will make sure those impacted receive the best support we can provide during this process."
In total, 20 of the 135 employees are being made redundant. We wish all those affected all the best in the future.
