[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7888186, member: 4348"] From the little I've looked into it (I'm not one of the ones in the know on this subject), the actual departments would be the FFI which ONLY worked on one app/game. The other apps which are for their games are not affected per se. That is, they are developed on the Boardgame side rather than the Interactive side. Now, some of it was based via other companies (aka...Mansions of Madness). In that sense, it should not be affected. On the otherhand, when closing down that deparment, unless everyone was simply useless, you'd want to consolidate and keep the best programmers from both. Not doing that...can raise questions. At this point, I'd say the most recent games are safe in either case (Journeys for example). Other departments supposedly affected are the RPG and marketing departments. PR and customer service may have also been affected. 14 were confirmed lay offs from the thread people seem to get the information from, but that's just FFG. The layoffs apparently also extended to Asmodee itself and the numbers are thought to be at least 20 when including them as well. Imperial Assault is supposedly done. I'm not sure what that means for future updates in regards to that app (no updates on an app can mean it ceases to work within a few iterations of updates for the OS's). Mansions had the company with it stop back in June/July, though I think FFG may have been keeping it updated thus far. Journeys I think is safe no matter what at this point. However, with the information that's come out, the only thing for certain is that FFI, which worked on ONE app, is out. The boardgame portion that worked on the apps for the boardgames is still up and running. Edit: Also note, that Asmodee ALSO had it's own app/interactive group. This could simply be them seeing that there was no need for two groups working at the same time and consolidating the work to their primary Asmodee group, in which case no idea how that would affect the boardgame apps side of thing.
