"Additionally, McKibbin told Gamasutra that Perpetual would be laying off another 30-40 employees. "The size and bar of content creation is very high and requires a pretty sizable team," he said, "The process of really play-tuning and balancing takes a much smaller, more focused and agile team, and so that is the transition right now."
I'd have to ask a question here: were the employees temporary, and did they understand this from the beginning? If not, this is a very damaging statement. It implies that the laid off employees were less focused than the ones remaining, and essentially tries to explain a common 'hire and fire' practice, which is the hallmark of an inexperienced manager throughout history. I really hope this kind of attitude evolves eventually in the game industry.-Alexander Brandon
