According to a report on fan page Duck and Cover, half the staff at developer Micro Forté has been let go today. According to their news update, the layoffs were made because the company had been working on a 3D engine to power Fallout Tactics 2, when Interplay decided that because preliminary work is already underway on both Fallout 3 and Fallout Online, a sequel to Fallout Tactics would dilute the franchise. This news comes only a day after the news Fallout Tactics has officially gone gold and will be on store shelves in the very near future (story). It should be pointed out that there is no source credited for this report, and neither Micro Forté nor Interplay has confirmed the layoffs.
