Despite Recent Acquisitions, Mobile Publisher Kabam Lays Off Staff In San Francisco
Game Informer has received word from staff at Kabam that the publisher of mobile titles, including the recent Marvel: Contest of Champions, has laid off staff. The publisher has confirmed the news to Game Informer.
Kabam, which also publishes Fast & Furious 6: The Game, The Hunger Games, and The Lord of the Rings: Legends, recently announced acquisition of TapZen (This Means War) and Magic Pixel Games, which contributed to South Park: The Stick of Truth and PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale on Vita.
Those acquisitions brought the number of Kabam studios acquired since 2010 to nine.
Our Take
Our thoughts are with the employees affected by today’s layoffs.
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.
