Yet more layoffs are coming at 2K, this time affecting Civilization, XCOM, and Marvel's Midnight Suns developer Firaxis. Reports suggest that dozens of employees are affected, but while 2K has confirmed that the layoffs have occurred, the company hasn't detailed exactly how many jobs have been cut.
Instead, 2K tells Game Developer simply that there was "staff reduction today at Firaxis Games," an effort that "restructures and optimizes" the studio for "adaptability, collaboration, and creativity." That statement doesn't even have the usual veneer of warmth toward the affected employees, but I suspect everyone's a bit sick of hearing how difficult these decisions apparently are for the executives making them.
