  • After carefully observing the challenges in the market and reviewing the team needs for our next project, we’ve decided to make some staffing reductions. Several positions across Sucker Punch will be eliminated as a result. We know this is a lot to take in, and we want to assure you that we did not make this decision lightly. We have given this a lot of attention and worked to support our affected colleagues during this transition as well as we can… There’s no getting around that this is a hard day. Next week we will go into more details about the future.

    The report adds that 26 employees have lost their jobs, which doesn’t sound like a huge amount compared to the job cuts we’ve heard recently at other game companies, but is nonetheless over 10% of the studio’s total workforce.








  • Yeah I got to say the more and more I think about it, the more I think it is ethical. Because if you want to use his work in perpetuity you should hire him for the amount of time you use it. Or work out some kind of long-term profit sharing. If it’s for a one-time use of their skills you shouldn’t get to own the copyright of it. So yeah I’m going to say completely ethical.
