Bethesda might be cackling like Scrooge McDuck over the fact that it has just had its Fallout MMO rights "restored," but over at one of its key studios, id Software, things are less jolly. The publisher confirmed that it had laid off an unspecified number of employees from the Doom and Rage developer.
The employees were let go as part of Bethesda's "standard business practice," and made it clear that id is still hiring and operating as normal. Work on its latest project, Doom 4, has reportedly not been affected by the redundancies.
GameInformer grabbed a statement from Bethesda, which said that, "as part of its standard business practice, id regularly evaluates staffing to ensure it has a workforce that meets the needs of the studio. As part of that process, some id employees were recently let go."
Well, damn. SPOnG wishes all the best to those let go at the company.
