GamesBeat has received confirmation from SEGA that the company has laid off an unspecified amount of employees.
A statement provided to the site reads:
“As the gaming industry continues to evolve, companies must adapt and adjust in order to compete and succeed in an ever-changing environment. As a result of this, Sega of America has recently undergone a restructure that will enable the company to focus efficiently on developing new and existing content across digital platforms as well as continuing to focus on key brands for packaged goods.”
It’s unclear just how many staffers were affected. However, GamesBeat’s says that the “number is small.”
