Bankrupt World of Goo publisher won't axe employees


We nearly reached for the Tums whilst perusing this story -- it's been so long since we've heard any heartwarming news regarding the gaming industry that we confused the sensation with a mild case of heartburn. A representative from Brighter Minds Media, the publisher behind last year's highly lauded slime-flinging puzzler World of Goo, recently announced that the publisher would not be laying off any of its employees -- despite the fact that the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week. Though they're going through what sounds like a fairly radical "reorganization", they won't be extending the already depressingly long gaming industry bread line. Good form, Brighter Minds.
