Video game developer Hangar 13, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. best known for developing the 2016 game Mafia 3, instituted a round of job cuts this week.
In a virtual meeting, the studio president, Nick Baynes, said some roles would be eliminated, called the news “horrible” and sought to reassure the remaining employees that he does not expect further layoffs. “All of you who are here now, you’re Hangar 13 still and will continue to be so,” he said in the meeting, a recording of which was heard by Bloomberg.
