Layoffs hit Sega of America | Polygon
So yeah, only a small number of employees were affected, and all things considered that was to be expected. Remember, Atlus USA was part of their reason to buy up Atlus at all because their current American branch wasn't cutting it. If this was a large scale lay off you may have something, but as it stands the negativity is still pretty unfounded. To say anything even remotely definitively is rather silly.
