Depressing news today for anyone who works in the video game industry. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the people behind games such as Mortal Kombat, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Lord of the Ring: War in the North, and even the LEGO series, is getting hit by some serious layoffs. The Seattle branch specifically was affected, with reports saying it may have lost as many as sixty employees. Warner Bros. has not yet given exact figures for the scope of the layoff, but a WB spokesperson recently told Game Informer, “As part of the continual review of our business operations and fluctuating market conditions, we have had to make reductions in our WB Games Seattle workforce.” ![]()
