Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City developer Slant Six has offered 26 employees the choice between temporary layoffs and severance packages as a way of making ends meet, reports GameSpot, saying a majority chose the layoff option.

"Regretfully, we can confirm that there have been some temporary layoffs at our studio," the company's official statement reads. "We must stress that these are temporary layoffs, which means we are working very hard on new business prospects so we can reinstate every single person affected. As an independent and close-knit studio it is a very difficult but necessary business measure due to the current project cycle demands."
