Obsidian Entertainment Layoffs

Despite the success of Fallout: New Vegas, it looks like Obsidian Entertainment is suffering further layoffs as the current video gaming slump continues, VG247 reports.

According to a tweet from Akil Hooper a producer and designer who has been at the firm 11 years survived seven different round of lay-offs, but sadly not the eighth: ) 11 years, nearly a dozen shipped titles, Designer, Lead, Producer. 1 canceled game, survived 7 layoffs, 8th got me. Not a bad track record.)

A programmer at the firm, Justin Reynard, tweeted: (Today marks my 3 year anniversary working at Obsidian Entertainment. To my coworkers (and sadly the ones we’ve lost) you guys are amazing.)

Another tweet, from QA tester Ashley Betters reads: (No longer work at Obsidian. I guess this means I will have to start buying my own pens.)

The total number of layoffs is unknown, but funcroc from the official forums has uncovered quite a few.
