X-Men Destiny dev axes almost half of its workforce

Posted on Wednesday, 2 November 2011 by Speed, source: Financial Post
Silicon Knights has confirmed they've let go almost 50% of their workforce after finishing X-Men: Destiny.

CFO Mike Mays stated that about 40 people of the formerly 97 employees were let go due to a cancelled project.
“We just finished [X-Men Destiny] with [Activision Blizzard Inc.] that got completed,”

“We had another project lined up that had been in the works for months, which had been green-lit and at the final second, at the high corporate level, the project got canceled.

“We don’t know why. Probably something to do with the publisher on their side, but that resulted in us having too many people so we had to do a layoff.”
Mays said that the studio is having contract negotiations on a number of other projects and if these come through, they'll rehire the people they've had to let go.
