Factor 5 reported to have laid off 37 staff

By on December 14, 2008

According to a report in Edge, developer Factor 5 has made 37 staff redundant.

The redundancies represent half the staff, leaving 38 employees still working at the San Rafael, California company.

Factor 5 has developed a long line of Rogue Squadron games. Its recent difficulties are believed to be related to the collapse of Brash Entertainment.
