Layoffs at New England

Published at 7:33 AM PST

Sad news today coming out of Rockstar New England. Kotaku is reporting that the QA team at NE, around 10% of the studio, were laid off on Monday. The QA team was singled out due to the fact that Rockstar already has a dedicated QA studio, Rockstar Lincoln. Rockstar has offered the affected employees a "fairly generous" severance package and are helping them find other jobs. Our hearts go out to the laid off employees of New England and wish them the best of luck at finding a new job.
