The Secret World Lead Designer Laid Off from Funcom

It appears that among the people hit by the recent round of layoffs at Funcom, which involved roughly 50% of the personnel, there is also The Secret World’s lead designer Martin Bruusgaard, who still reassures that the game will go strong without him:

Unfortunately, I’m not with Funcom anymore… :/

I think that 50% was an overall Funcom percentage. The Oslo office got hit much much harder.

Wow… I’m speechless. Thank you so much for the support. You have no idea how much it means to me…

Also, rest assured that TSW is in good hands. We have some awesome people working on it, and it’s going full speed ahead!

And just to clarify: This is not a new round of forced leave. It happened a few weeks ago.

We wish good luck to Bruusgaard for his new job, and hope that we won’t have to hear about other lay-offs for a good while.

Thanks, Develop.
