Cyan Lays Off Most of Testing Division After Southpeak Bought Gamecock
November 13th, 2008 Posted in Business
In more layoff news, Myst developer Cyan Worlds has laid off the majority of its for-hire QA testing division after its main customer Gamecock was acquired by Southpeak.
Company CEO Tony Fryman noted that only seven employees remain, doing “testing for a few other smaller game companies.”
The studio has had a troubled past, as Myst Online: Uru Live, its ambitious online project, was killed by GameTap earlier this year; the studio’s Uru Live was also shut down by Ubisoft the year before.
