Cyan Lays Off Most of Testing Division After Southpeak Bought Gamecock

November 13th, 2008

Cyan_Worlds_logo In more layoff news, Myst developer Cyan Worlds has laid off the majority of its for-hire QA testing division after its main customer Gamecock was acquired by Southpeak.

Company CEO Tony Fryman noted that only seven employees remain, doing “testing for a few other smaller game companies.”

The studio has had a troubled past, as Myst Online: Uru Live, its ambitious online project, was killed by GameTap earlier this year; the studio’s Uru Live was also shut down by Ubisoft the year before.
