Double Fine, the beloved studio responsible for games like Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, and Costume Quest, laid off 23 people today. The news comes as the studio goes independent after years of Xbox ownership.
"Today, Double Fine Productions let go of 23 members of its staff," the company says in a social media post attributed to founder Tim Schafer. "As a small, tightly knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company means becoming a size that we can sustain."
