SOE Suffers Reduction in Workforce
Sony announced, with little specifics, a 'reduction of workforce' concerning the company. It has yet to be confirmed who all is being let go, or which MMOs are affected by this shift.
With the upcoming changes in the United States health care system, many US companies are reducing staff and cutting hours as to reduce the cost of the health care mandates. Companies big and small are being affected, and since SOE's reductions are rumored to be coming in their US development studios, the possibility exists this is one of the reasons for the reductions in staffing.
