Companies go through layoffs ahead of, and after, the release of titles all the time. In a world of ever-expanding AAA game development budgets, bubbles will start to burst. It also doesn’t make it easy when you understand that Sony has been going through a sort ofan economic crisisat their company, despite theoverall success of the PlayStation 4. Losses have been going on at almost all levels of the company, whether it beexecutives,creative leaders, entire divisions or even at thesimple retail level.
Best wishes to those that lost their job at Sucker Punch Productions. When you help to create games for the Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises, this will hopefully be a blip on the radar on the way to bigger and brighter things.
