Turbine Reduces Workforce at Boston Studio

Lord of The Rings Online developer Turbine has let go an undisclosed amount of their development staff. a spokesperson for owner Warner Bros. simply telling us that "As part of the continual review of our business operations and fluctuating market conditions, we have had to make reductions in our Turbine workforce."

Harmonix, developers of the Rock Band franchise are being more telling saying that less than ten employees were let go in part of the normal cyclical development cycle. In a rather odd twist, Harmonix is actually hiring more employees than they've just let go.
