“H1Z1” developer Daybreak Game Company recently laid off an unspecified number of staff, cutting jobs across various departments, according to Gamasutra.
The studio confirmed the layoffs Thursday. It didn’t say how many people were affected, but rumors are the “H1Z1” team was majorly impacted.
The lack of information is nothing new, a former employee who wishes to remain anonymous told Variety. Having survived a number of layoffs while at the company, they said Daybreak never officially notified employees when it was making cuts. “I would just look around and notice people were gone,” they said. “We had ten employees before. Now we only had three. We had to establish new guidelines about what we could and couldn’t do going forward. How are we going to handle this?”
“They’ve always been tight-lipped,” they said.
The layoffs come two months after “H1Z1” officially left Early Access...
