Humble Games confirms 'restructuring' amid reports all staff have been laid off
UPDATE 24/7/24 3pm UK: Humble Games has denied using AI to write yesterday’s statement that characterised the reported layoffs of the brand’s entire staff as a “restructuring”.
Responding to a series of follow-up questions from Eurogamer, a Humble Games spokesperson declined to confirm details provided earlier by former Humble Bundle creative lead Chris Radley, reported below, that the changes amounted to the Humble Games brand winding down its work for good, with a third-party firm brought in temporarily to handle any leftover work.
“Humble Games operations will continue as per the statement,” the spokesperson said, when asked whether any new titles might still be signed in future.
UPDATE 24/7/24 10am UK: The “restructuring” of Humble Games will see the brand’s current projects completed by a third-party video games consultancy firm, it’s emerged.
“I want it to be made abundantly clear, this is NOT a restructuring of operations,” former Humble Bundle creative lead Chris Radley wrote on LinkedIn. “This is a total shutdown of Humble Games. Operations have been handed off to a third party consultancy. NO staff are left.”
