Strife developer S2 Games has confirmed that it has suffered several layoffs.
"The layoffs are a byproduct of mis-management prior to Open Beta. We grew the development team to a size that was, in truth, disproportionate to the game's size and development stage," says a statement on the official Strife forum. "We put together a team loaded with talent that was more appropriate for a 'grown-up' Strife than for one still in its infant stages of growth."
S2's statement expresses sympathies for the layoffs, reassuring fans that the studio did not "maliciously" hire on employees with the intention of later "discarding" them. The studio has apologized for the oversight and has "taken measures" to help those laid off in their transition.
