Airship Syndicate Confirms Layoffs, Executives Take Pay Cuts

Despite the layoffs and pay cuts, development of Wayfinder continues with 80 full-time employees.

Airship Syndicate, the developer of Wayfinder, has confirmed the layoffs of 12 staff members as part of an effort to keep the studio open and operational.
Company president Ryan Stefanelli and CEO Joe Madureira are also taking pay cuts, a move that is unusual in the industry.
Despite the layoffs and pay cuts, there are currently 80 people working full-time on Wayfinder.
Wayfinder's launch was marred by server troubles, resulting in a mixed user rating on Steam.
Publisher Digital Extremes handed full control of the game back to Airship Syndicate less than three months after its launch.
