Humble Games is a publisher of various indie titles. Officially, Humble Games is "restructuring." Employees for Humble say that it's less of a restructuring and more of a full closure.
Earlier in the day one employee, Nicola Kwan, took to LinkedIn to state 36 employees of Humble Games were let go. She continues on to say that the company "is shutting down" and that all of the now laid off employees were surprised with the news at 9AM this morning. Another employee, Brandon Boswell, echoed Kwan's remarks in his own statement. Boswell said that "all of us at Humble Games were impacted today."
An official statement made by Humble Games says that the company is merely "restructuring" and is not closing. This "restructuring" does seem to be without any of its employees though. The company officially says that the "restructuring" at Humble Games will not have any impact on operations at Humble Bundle.
Supporting our development partners and assisting former team members remains our top priority. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. Thank you for your support and compassion during this challenging period. It is deeply appreciated.
