The game development incubator, ProbablyMonsters, recently made the tough decision to let go of employees from its BattleBarge team. Sources, including a former staff member who took to LinkedIn, revealed that approximately 50 people were affected by these layoffs, with other colleagues confirming the situation.
ProbablyMonsters explained the move was part of a strategic “realignment” to better focus on smaller, more agile teams and projects, aiming to adapt to a rapidly evolving industry landscape. They emphasized that this decision was necessary to enhance their ability to innovate and bring creative projects to life efficiently. By restructuring their team in this way, the company hopes to more effectively nurture and bring fresh ideas to market.
While such transitions can be challenging, ProbablyMonsters is committed to supporting the impacted staff during this period. They are providing assistance and exploring potential collaborations to help ease the transition for those affected. This approach aligns with the company’s ongoing mission to be a positive force for its people and the wider gaming industry.
