Double Fine Productions reveals layoffs
Double Fine Productions announced that the team has let go of 23 employees in necessary layoffs. In a message shared on official social media channels, Double Fine founder Tim Schafer explained that the team is tight-knit and the decision to let the members go was not taken lightly. However, it became necessary for Double Fine as a whole to survive. Now that Double Fine is no longer supported by Xbox, it seems that the studio was unable to maintain the size of the team it had, which was somewhere around 90 people. Schafer noted that the studio would support those affected as much as possible and that they would be missed at the game studio.
