Gameforge laying off 100 of employees

According to GamesIndustry.biz, Gameforge has laid off around 100 of its 450 employees as they struggle to reach a more "efficient organisational structure," says CEO Alexander Roesner. Unfortunately, these changes do not bode well for Gameforge's published MMORPGs, including the ones they acquired after taking over Frogster. Yesterday, Frogster founder and CEO Christoph Gerlinger left the company after nearly seven years.

We've already seen Mythos Europe close its doors on October 27th (Mythos Europe was published by Frogster), and this is also casting serious doubts on Gameforge's ability to publish Star Trek: Infinite Space, unless a co-publishing deal can be found. Bad news indeed!
