Indie devs working with Humble Games were also blindsided by the publisher reportedly laying off all employees: “This will have drastic consequences”

Indie developers working with boutique publisher Humble Games – which helped bring Signalis, Void Bastards, Unpacking, and more absolute gems to store shelves – were apparently just as blindsided by the news of mass layoffs as the rest of us. 

Humble Games staff began to spread news of layoffs just yesterday across social media, while parent company Ziff Davis later called it a “restructuring of operations” that was “difficult but necessary.” The company reportedly let go of all in-house Humble Games staff, opting to have the publisher’s upcoming slate of games  managed by an unnamed third-company instead. It should be noted that Humble Bundle remains unaffected.
