Bethesda confirms redundancies at id Software

Bethesda has confirmed that it has laid off a number of staff at Rage and Doom studio id Software.

The publisher called the move standard practice, adding that work on projects currently in development "continues unabated," according to a statement issued to Joystiq.

"As part of its standard business practice, id regularly evaluates staffing to ensure it has a workforce that meets the needs of the studio. As part of that process, some id employees were recently let go," said the company.

id most recently completed new IP Rage. The job losses come on the same day as redundancies at Sony UK and independent developer Monumental.
