Marvelous Entertainment asks 17% of staff to retire, downgrades to 'Okay Entertainment'

Marvelous Entertainment, whose game division develops and publishes the
Harvest Moon series, in addition to publishing games like
No More Heroes,
Muramasa, and
Hero for 30Sec, is seeking "voluntary retirement" from around 20 staff members as a cost-cutting measure.
Employees are incentivized to take the company up on its "offer" between now and April 3 with a special severance package. The retirements will take effect April 30 -- right around when
Muramasa comes out in Japan. That's kind of unfortunate, because it'll make playing this awesome-looking game in a bit more bittersweet for all those former employees.
