Dune: Awakening dev Funcom released a very successful MMO, so of course it is laying off staff: "This difficult process is starting now, and we cannot yet determine the exact impact"

The custom created character in Dune Awakening.

Survival MMO Dune: Awakening was "the biggest release we've had in our 32-year long history of making great games," developer Funcom says. So, in keeping with the games industry's storied tradition of jettisoning people who make successful games, it is laying off staff to an extent that it can't yet determine.

That's from a statement sent to GamesIndustry, in which Funcom confirms plans to lay off staff despite Dune: Awakening's successful launch.
