Gameforge is set to cut a little over 20 percent of its staff. GI.biz (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-11-03-gameforge-lays-off-100-employees) reports that the German browser-based games company, which bought a majority share in Frogster last year (http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/08/03/gameforge-buys-majority-stake-in-frogster/), will cut 100 of its 450 employees.
The publisher previously canceled Mythos (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/mythos/) and Hellbreed, and is now reportedly struggling to finish Star Trek: Infinite Space (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/28/star-trek-infinite-space-explores-browser-based-gaming-in-2011/) unless a co-publishing agreement is signed.
"Through a more efficient organizational structure, we can optimize our use of resources and great potential for further growth increase," said CEO Alexander Roesner in a statement. "This will strengthen our long term position in the dynamic market for online games."
