Funcom has announced layoffs of 20% of their workforce today according to a story being reported over at Eurogamer. The heavy layoffs will unfortunately affect the release of The Secret World by "several months" according to Funcom. It is unclear whether or not this change will also affect the release of the upcoming Age of Conan expansion, Rise of the Godslayer.

Nnnooooooooooooooooo!!

I am looking forward to Secret World so much!

I'm okay with a delay, but if the layoffs affect its quality, I will be so sad.

One of few quality developers around. Damn it. This had better not escalate.

/sigh  I like Funcom and really hope that they are one of the companies to pull through and make it big.

This is really )=. Funcom may have had some issues, but they're one of the few MMO companies that takes risks anymore. Additionally, I'm really looking forward to The Secret World as I'm a huge Ragnar Tornquist fan.

Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

 (De)func(t)com.

When a founder of the company leaves that is usually a really bad sign. Or it might be a blessing, either way I'd like to see the company pull out of this.
