Activision cutting half of 7 Studios staff?
We just got word that Activision is preparing to cut half of 7 Studios staff which comes out to about 30 employees. The remaining employees will reportedly be tasked with future music titles.
For those who don’t know 7 Studios its most likely because most of the game’s were based on movies such as Shrek the Third and Pirates of the Carribean.
Everyone here at DigitalBattle wishes the laid off employees the best of luck and hope for some great new titles out of 7 Studios.

Spacetime Studios Lays Off Employees
On the Spacetime Studios website is word unfortunate news that the indie developer has laid off quite a few employees. They are currently at work on Blackstar, a sci-fi MMORPG.
“Our company has been entirely self-funded for the last six months while we tried to find a publishing deal for ‘Blackstar’,” reads a note on the studio’s website. “Throughout this period we have held onto our pre-production development team because, honestly, we think they are the best of the best. We have been shopping Blackstar around but – right now, at least – the concept of a SciFi space/ground IP has proven to be a challenge.”
They are scaling down to sixteen employees from thirty-two, and are hoping to secure a publishing deal.
