Microsoft has laid off hundreds of its staff across multiple divisions, with speculation including its Xbox gaming sector, in a move that is described as a shift in business priorities.

It seems that MMO publisher Gamigo has been hit with layoffs affecting multiple teams at the publisher, notably the oft-forgotten MMO, RIFT.

Over the weekend, there were reports coming in that ArtCraft has laid off some of the Crowfall team. While there hasn't been an official announcement, Val Massey, who spent five years in community management for Crowfall, tweeted "Gutted and gobsmacked to hear about the @ArtCraftEnt layoffs today. " The number of affected team members is unknown.

As Magic: Legends winds down, shuttering before it ever existed its open beta, Cryptic Studios has been hit with layoffs due to the closure. According to a former employee at Cryptic, the team has been hit with 44 employees laid off who were working on Legends.

Gamigo has a RIFT problem, and right now the way it's publicly handling that problem doesn't seem to be alleviating fan fears about the MMORPG's future.
