Cyberlore cutting staff
Gamecloud has received word that Cyberlore Studios (most known for Playboy: The Mansion) is downsizing it production and has been cutting staff this week.
Cyberlore will be redirecting its goals towards non-commercial games; projects for the government or just for the private sector.
The addon for Playboy: The Mansion isn't far away from gold status so the layoffs won't have a big influence on that title (although it's only sure that Ubisoft will release it in Europe, there is uncertainty about the US distribution).
Cyberlore has more titles in its portfolio than just 'The Sims with boobs' though, they also developed the Warcraft II expansion (Beyond the Dark Portal), a HoMM II addon and the standalone addon Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. The most daring concept they created was Majesty (and its expansion), a real-time fantasy sim where you couldn't directly control heroes or units.
According to what the now former Cyberlore marketing director Jay Adan told Gamecloud Saturday, the Massachusetts based company cut approximately two-thirds of its staff earlier this past week, including Adan. According to what he told us, the move to cut staff members was due to two major events. First was the financial collapse of Hip Games earlier this year which was the US publisher for Cyberlore's last game title, the M people sim game Playboy: The Mansion. Also, Adan told Gamecloud that the company suffered “. . the loss of an expected contract."
