Gazillion press release clarifies Netdevil layoff rumors
By Jef Reahard on Feb. 24th 2011
The NetDevil/LEGO Universe brouhaha that unfolded earlier this morning is
officially official thanks to a press release just published by Gazillion
Entertainment. Gazillion has formally agreed to sell its development stake in
the LEGO Universe MMO to the LEGO Group (the game’s publisher and custodian of
the world-famous toy brand).
Most of the LEGO devs, formerly employed by NetDevil (a Gazillion subsidiary),
have received employment offers from the LEGO Group and will continue iterating
on the game from the company’s Louisville, Colorado studio.
Gazillion is re-focusing its ongoing development efforts into browser games,
according to President and COO David Brevik. “The transition of members of our
team to the LEGO Group enables us to focus completely on internally-published,
free-to-play game businesses,” he said.
