Cuts in staff at Capcom
The U.S. department has been forced to terminate employees
The U.S. Department of the Japanese giant Capcom went yesterday through a reorganization, which led to the need for some employees disappeared. Such reorganization talked about the developer already in April in a message to their investors, and will be a result of the development costs are higher with next-gen consoles.
One of those that had to go was the vice president Christian Svensson, who was also the one who first reported the changes on its Facebook page. According to IGN he should have gone voluntarily. He could, however, clarify that he was not at all the only one who had to go, and that he will try his best to help the other victims find new jobs through their own contacts. Capcom confirms cuts in a statement, but how many of the 130 employees who have had to go is uncertain.
Svensson adds in his post that he is grateful for the opportunities and people he encountered in his eight years in the company, and that he was prepared for what has now happened. Among the general public, he has enough in his time been most kjentfor his work on Capcom-Unity blog, where he maintained close contact with the public.
