id Software suffers layoffs, development continues on future projects


Bethesda Softworks confirmed to Joystiq today that an unknown number of employees have been let go from RAGE developer, id Software.

"As part of its standard business practice, id regularly evaluates staffing to ensure it has a workforce that meets the needs of the studio. As part of that process, some id employees were recently let go," the statement read.

However, the studio is still "recruiting and hiring qualified developers," and "development on future id titles continues unabated." Namely, this means the studio's next project, DOOM 4.
