Gree has announced that 25 staff will be let go as a result of OpenFeint’s closure. Purchased by Gree for $104 million, the company recently announced that they were shutting down the service ahead of their announced deadline.
“Gree, which recently announced the closure of mobile social gaming platform, OpenFeint, is focusing its U.S. business primarily on its own titles and developer partner titles,” said Gree in a statement. “As part of the company’s internal U.S. reorganization, a majority of the Gree games platform team will be transitioned to new departments with redundancies in some areas. The overall Gree Platform business will begin transitioning to its operations in Tokyo as a part of this change.”
