Perfect World, the publisher behind MMORPGs like Star Trek Online and Neverwinter, has laid off employees. A similar message comes from Trion Worlds, the western publisher of ArcheAge.
Yesterday, rumors increased that Perfect World had layoffs. Now there is a statement: Perfect World has experienced “reducing the workforce by under 30 employees” this week.
They employ thousands of employees around the world, such decisions are always difficult. They are incredibly grateful to the individuals for their contributions and wish them all the best during the transition.
This reduction in the workforce will not affect the games that Perfect World publishes.
Among the laid-off employees is the popular community manager of Star Trek Online, Laughing Trendy.

After ArcheAge 3.0, not everyone could be retained
There were also layoffs at Trion Worlds. They have eliminated a handful of positions after the largest launch in the company’s history to focus more on game development and publishing, it is stated. They always strive to keep everyone employed even after launches. In recent years, this has been successful. This time, not for everyone.
With “largest launch” probably referring to ArcheAge 3.0.
