Develop reports "a huge amount of layoffs have hit THQ's Big Huge Games studio." THQ recently indicated they would be closing the studio if they could not find a buyer, so it seems the news could be worse, but that is probably not a perspective shared by those who have lost their jobs as a result of this. Also, GamesIndustry.biz reports that Crush Digital Media has entered administration, and that all 16 employees of this developer co-founded by former Core Design boss Adrian Smith have been "made redundant."
