Late last week it was revealed that one of Gazillion Entertainment's MMO game developers Slipgate Ironworks, had suffered some layoffs. The studio was formed back in 2005 by former id Software designer John Romero. Gazillion's official comment about the layoffs, however, did not specify if Romero was one of the people who may have been let go.

Big Download contacted Gazillion for comment and today we heard back from their PR rep that Romero is indeed still with Slipgate Ironworks. He will have to work with a smaller team on their still unannounced MMO project. Gazillion's official statement on the game's status indicated a change in the game's format but no details were provided.
