Pixelberry Studios, the developer of the hugely-successful episodic Choices mobile series, has allegedly laid off staff.<\/p>\n

Though the studio has not made any public statements at the time of writing, GameDeveloper<\/a> reports several<\/a> former<\/a> staff<\/a> have shared news of their redundancies on LinkedIn at the end of last week, with one Pixelberry developer writing that “another layoff hit Choices [on Friday].”<\/p>\n
