THQ Layoffs Have Begun
From the looks of Twitter, THQ has begun the process of laying off members of its staff. Several (now former) THQ staff have publicly declared their new unemployed status, and you can see some of them below.
Mathew Everett (@sledgehammer70) - Darksiders II and Company of Heroes teams
It's been great almost 2 years with THQ... Best of luck to all my awesome co-workers, we know how close we were to rocking it big time.
Ben Cureton (@verytragic) - Vigil Games lead combat designer for Darksiders and Darksiders II
Anyone looking for a designer? =)
Neal Pabon (@NealPabon) - PR/Marketing
Aaaaaand that's a wrap. If you know anyone interested in hiring a Marketing/PR specialist, feel free to give me a shout!
Haydn Dalton (@haydndalton) - Vigil Games lead designer for Darksiders and Darksiders II
It's a wrap.
Jeremy Greiner (@JG_CHEFS) - PR/Marketing
And that's a wrap. It's been great 3-year ride with THQ, good luck to everyone moving forward.
More news is coming in quickly, so keep an eye on the site in the coming hours.
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.
