Another US independent struggles as publishing deal for MMO fails to materialise

In a post on its company blog, the senior execs at Spacetime Studios have confirmed that the studio will be making 50 per cent of is staff redundant as it can't afford to keep them on while it looks for a publishing deal.

16 of the 32 staff, 'some very good folks', will be let go - but the studio wants to help them find work elsewhere, the post says.

Earlier this year, NCsoft withdrew its publishing contract with the studio for its space-themed MMO; Spacetime got the rights to the project back but has since then failed to find a new suitor for the project."
