Want to make games? Well, you've got to be aware that one of the mainstays of video game development is the fact that short-term or freelance contracts are very much par for the course. So, when SOCOM and MAG developer Zipper Interactive lays off 30+ staff, that's business as usual.
Kotaku states that "a Sony spokesperson confirmed layoffs at Zipper, characterizing them as "normal business practice and a result of cutting back on production resources after the launch of two major franchises." Sony would not specify how many positions were lost.
"Update: Multiple tipsters have suggested that 33 people were let go."
