Humble Games has offered a statement saying that the company is not closing down, but instead restructuring its operations.
The statement follows reports earlier today that the company had laid off its entire team and was a “total closure of the company”.
First reported by XboxEra (and sent to us, too), a Humble Bundle Press Representative said,
“In these challenging economic times for indie game publishing, Humble Games has made the difficult but necessary decision to restructure our operations. This decision was not made lightly; it involved much deliberation and careful thought, with the goal of ensuring the stability and support of our developers and ongoing projects. Additionally, the restructuring of operations at Humble Games will have no impact on operations at Humble Bundle.
We are acutely aware of the profound impact this decision has on our team members at Humble Games and deeply empathize with everyone affected. Our team’s contributions have been world-class and invaluable, supporting the launch of our games since we started publishing in 2017. We are committed to navigating this transition with as much empathy and understanding as possible.
Supporting our development partners and assisting former team members remains our top priority. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. Thank you for your support and compassion during this challenging period. It is deeply appreciated.”
It’s currently unclear exactly how many employees have been affected and what the restructuring looks like.
