UPDATE: We reached out to Gazillion Entertainment and a company representative has confirmed the layoffs:
Yesterday, as a result of company restructuring, we at Gazillion unfortunately parted ways with some truly excellent personnel. We wish them well in their future endeavors, and would recommend them to other employers in a heartbeat. To our players – the best community in gaming – rest assured that Gazillion remains very healthy, and we’re as dedicated as ever to continuing to deliver the stellar new content you’ve come to expect from us.
Michael Parks, currently with Kongregate, is reporting on his Twitter account that a round of layoffs has gone down at his former employer Gazillion Entertainment, developers of Marvel Heroes 2015. From his posts, it appears a significant number of employees are affected.
Super sad for all my friends at Gazillion looking for work today. Again, if anybody knows of anything in SF, speak up. They're good people.
