I posted this on a similar thread in the SMITE 2 discussions:
People, the remaining SMITE 2 team is still bigger than the SMITE 1 team was for many years of its life. Times are tough in the game industry right now. There are so many good studios that are going through layoffs or flat shutting down. This layoff was to ensure the continued future of SMITE. Layoffs always suck, but this one hit me so much harder. Sooo many truly great people had to be laid off. To honor their massive contributions, those of us remaining are going to work that much harder to make sure SMITE has a long future.
