Sony Online Entertainment has laid off 35 employees, representing "just over 4% of its full-time workforce," reports Joystiq. They quote a statement from Scott Gulbransen, SOE's Sr. Director of Global PR and Corporate Communications, saying: "In a move to better align the company's resources against areas of growth that meet consumer demand in today's online market as well as improve operational efficiency, Sony Online Entertainment has eliminated just over 4% of its full-time workforce, equaling 35 people. The changes will better position SOE to deliver against its emphasis on developing games for a wider, more diverse audience and remaining a worldwide leader in online gaming."
