Australia base game developer Mighty Kingdom has laid off 28% of its workforce which resulted in 14 people being affected, and staff was informed of the layoffs last week.
Mighty Kingdom CEO David Yin released a statement on social media on Monday morning, saying that the layoffs occur as the company undergoes a “strategic rightsizing to streamline our operations” and restructure some roles.
“This decision is made with heavy hearts and we never wanted to find ourselves in this position,” Yin said. “We have exhausted all possible avenues to avert these changes” adding that the layoffs as “the toughest chapter in our story.”
“We highly recommend each of the incredible professionals we’ve had to part ways with,” Yin stated. “They have contributed significantly to our success over the years. If you can assist or hire, please consider reaching out to them.”
