Mafia 2 developer 2K Czech lays off 40
4
Mafia 2 and Top Spin 4 developer 2K Czech has laid off up to 40 from its Brno arm and less than 10 from its Prague branch according to a report from Develop. The cuts represent a loss of between 20-25 percent for the formerly 200-strong 2K Czech.
The studio told Develop the cuts are more about slimming down than changing directions, saying it "has realigned its resources to streamline the development process, reduce costs and maximize studio performance."
You always hate to hear about job cuts of any kind, and you can count on staffers from 2K Czech to have plenty of colorful ways to express their frustration.

This game is still only $15/16 bucks on Amazon, and it should be the version with all of the extra goodies. Its very tempting, but I've already got too many games to pickup something unless its something that I really really want.

Not a good day for developers of 1930s era games.

I had some good goulash in Brno once, true story.
