TimeGate Studios has suffered some layoffs, reports Polygon, saying they confirmed this with the president of the studio, which most recently partnered with Gearbox on the critically panned Aliens: Colonial Marines. "Today, we had to make the difficult decision to let go of some great game developers. This is never easy, and we're doing all we can to assist those developers affected," TimeGate president Adel Chaveleh told Polygon. "TimeGate is preparing, as is the entire industry, for the transition to next-generation consoles and new business models. As part of this reinvention, all projects and strategic initiatives continue to move forward at the studio." Though not officially confirmed, their sources tell them 25 employees lost their jobs, saying this was because a publishing deal fell through.
