Vogster Entertainment restructures, focusing on CrimeCraft

Vogster Entertainment may not be closing as has been rumored, but the publisher has announced significant changes to its business model. Speciifically, it the company is "restructuring to focus its resources toward the enhancement and expansion of content for their recently launched CrimeCraft shooter-MMO hybrid."

The statement alludes to "significant staffing changes," and notes that the New York-area headquarters is still open -- with no mention of the Chicago, Moscow, or Kiev offices.

"Vogster has seen a number of releases this year," vice president of development Daniel Prousline said in the statement. "As an independent developer, we need to be very strategic in our use of available resources and shift from already launched titles to support the ongoing development and growth of CrimeCraft."

"We regret the necessary staffing changes and the talented employees that this impacts, but it is an unavoidable step in moving to the operational stage of CrimeCraft and optimizing for the development of yet to be announced titles." The company promises new content and "major announcements" related to the title at an upcoming press event.
