In a statement to Gamasutra, a Harmonix representative says that the layoffs were made “to reduce our overhead and align our business with our current development slate.”
In an unfortunate bit of news, Gamasutra has learned that Boston-based developer Harmonix Music Systems has laid off 14 employees from multiple departments today.
If you or someone you know has been affected by these layoffs, you can email Gamasutra to share your story confidentially.
“This was a difficult decision and we’re grateful to our friends and former colleagues for their many contributions,” the statement continues.
