According to TouchArcade popular iOS and Mac developer Freeverse recently fired a large bulk of their staff. While there is no news on exactly how many employees were fired TouchArcade apparently found out that only seven employees retained their job. The news came after co-founders Ian and Colin Lynch Smith previously announced they were leaving the company. The studio, known for popular and award-winning titles iOS titles like Flick Fishing and Skee-Ball, boasted more than 10 million paid sales from the App Store.
TechCrunch was able to obtain a statement from vice president Clive Downey about the layoffs:
Today we have organized Freeverse into a focused team, building on a foundation of talent from the studio in NY. Unfortunately this means we have had to say goodbye to some people. We thank everyone who has contributed to DeNA and Freeverse over the years and wish those moving on the very best.
Freeverse founders Ian and Colin Smith are taking a well deserved break, after building their company, helming the studio through years of success, many game launches, and the acquisition by ngmoco.
The new studio leadership will come from within, led by respected vet Nathan Camarillo.
