THQ Makes Cuts In Marketing And Production
THQ confirmed reports the publisher made cuts to its marketing and production groups in Agoura Hills, Calif. Less than 3% of the company’s global workforce was impacted, and no development teams or projects were affected by this action, the publisher said.
"This change is reflective of the company’s ongoing strategy to create a more focused, agile, and digitally-oriented organization," a spokesperson said in a statement. The number of employees let go were not provided, however, a purported internal e-mail obtained by games industry veteran George Broussard says the number is 20.
THQ recently announced it canceled production on InSane.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
