CCP Games, der bedst er kendt for at have udviklet spillet Eve Online, har netop offentliggjort at de har fyret næsten 100 ansatte da de vil stoppe fokus på Virtual Reality.
Udvikleren havde fem kontorer, men lukker nu CCP Newcastle samt CCP Atlanta, der stod for spillene EVE: Valkyrie samt andre VR-projekter. CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson udtaler i en pressemeddelelse:
"Despite the success of the VR games we have released we will be shifting our focus to our PC and mobile initiatives, and will be centralizing those initiatives, along with the support of our existing VR games, to our offices in Reykjavík and London."
"We will continue to support our VR games but will not be making material VR investments until we see market conditions that justify further investments beyond what we have already made."
CCP Games var blandt de store udviklere der bakkede op omkring Virtual Reality-projektet, men trækker nu stikket, da projektet endnu ikke er profitabelt nok.
