《激战2》NCsoft西方工作室大面积裁员 激战系列的ArenaNet团队幸免于难
本周对NCsoft来说,昨晚披露的《荒野星球》团队大部分人员的离开并不是唯一的坏消息。根据Polygon的一封信中说到,NCWest裁员影响到了所有NCsoft的西方分支,除了运营《激战2》和《激战》的ArenaNet。NCsoft这么写到:
今天我们宣布NC West中主要经营的一个重组。由于此次重组,我们正实施对除ArenaNet外其他西方经营的裁员。然而此类的决策向来艰难,但这是我们实施新战略所必须的,旨为加强我们在全球娱乐上的领军地位。
在前进的道路上,我们将继续专注我们核心发展能力和知识产权(荒野星球、永恒之塔和激战特许经营权),正是这些才成就了今天的NCsoft。然而,我们在寻求进入手机和平板游戏业务领域的同时也在探索新兴技术。
我们再一次表示裁员的这个决定真心不易,并且我们真挚的祝愿大家以后一路顺风。 职业玩家游戏工作室论坛,为您提供游戏项目,游戏辅助,VPN,国外游戏资讯等最新信息。

Last night's revelation that a large chunk of the WildStar team had been let go is not the only bad news to come from NCsoft this week. According to a letter sent to Polygon, the NCWest layoffs affected all of NCsoft's western branches... except ArenaNet, which runs Guild Wars 2 and Guild Wars. Here's what NCsoft wrote:
Today we announced a restructuring of key operations within NC West. As a result of this restructuring, we are implementing staff reductions across our Western operations with the exclusion of ArenaNet. While decisions like this are always hard, they are necessary as we begin the implementation of a new strategy designed to strengthen our footing as a leader in global entertainment.
Moving forward, we will continue to focus on our core development capabilities and the intellectual properties (WildStar, Aion, Lineage, and Guild Wars franchises) that have made NCSOFT what it is today. However, we are looking to move into new business segments like mobile and tablet games as well as explore emerging technologies.
Again, the decision to reduce staff was not an easy one, and we sincerely wish everyone well in their next endeavors.
Polygon's unnamed source says around 60 Carbine Studios employees were let go; we don't yet know how hard the other teams were hit.
