Daybreak Games Releases Key Managers from Everquest Franchise

Barely a week after news of the purchase of Sony Online Entertainment arrived, Daybreak Games has revealed the layoff of key community figure Linda Carlson (Aka the SOE Live Dwarf) as well as Everquest Franchise lead Dave Georgeson as part of their realignment plans.

The layoff confirmations continue to rise by the moment including Lead Content Designer for Everquest Next, Steve Danuser. As our Most Anticipated game two years running, this is deeply troubling news to learn of. We’ll be keeping a close eye out for further news possibly impacting game titles rather than just employees as the month goes on.

Reports from MassivelyOP (Their Kickstarter has funded!) and EQ2Wire.
