Kotaku reports the recent epidemic of game-related layoffs and contractions has now hit Aspyr, as this publisher of Mac ports of PC games as well as a few PC titles has cut an unspecified number of jobs from its Austin, TX-based offices. They have an official statement from Aspyr on the situation: "The current economic environment has forced Aspyr to make some tough decisions. The most difficult of which has been a reduction in staff and the loss of some very talented, valuable team members and friends. We have taken these steps in an effort to restructure to better meet the challenges ahead. No additional staff reductions are planned or expected, and operations will continue without interruption on all titles scheduled to ship in 2009 and beyond." Thanks Gamasutra.
