How long ago? They're already laying people off?
I hope it was just people who weren't doing their jobs properly, but given how viciously short-term-profit focused things tend to be in this world...

Well, Planetside is skrewed. Enjoy it while it laaasts.

A few week ago? Maybe a month? They still haven't changed the labelling on the website.

I'd certainly hope they aren't short-term-profit focused.

Then again, 'an investment firm' does not inspire hope in that at all.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Runescape was similarly bought out by an investment firm, and while they had a whole bunch of things introduced to milk cash, like the gambling Squeal of Fortune and the microtransactions store "Solomon's Store", the gameplay wasn't fundamentally affected. Though, unlike PS2, I suppose Runescape had many years of well made stuff as a backup plan.

They'd already said they were more or less stopping development on PS2 because of H1Z1, laying off 40-50% of their company isn't going to help that.

Well, ain't that a bummer.

David Carey, one of the lead devs, tweeted hinting rather blatantly that he was laid off.
Another PS2 Twitter channel asked if anyone could take the laid off personell.

Frankly, this really sucks.
