DK CEO, Ian Hudson, had this to say:
“During a year-long extensive review, many new ways were explored to diversify Prima Games publishing. However, the dynamics for us of this fast-paced landscape have continued to prove difficult.”
“This enormously dedicated team has made every effort to turn the business around, but challenging market conditions have unfortunately worked against them.”
We here at GameSkinny wish all it’s employee’s the best of luck in finding work, inside or outside, in the gaming industry.
