Daedelic (Gollum) withdraws from game development and lays off part of its staff

The critical and (presumably) commercial failure of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has impacted Daedelic Entertainment dearly. The German studio has decided to stop developing games in-house altogether and focus solely on publishing.

Of the more than 90 people employed by the studio, around 25 are said to have been fired this week. In addition, the other Lord of the Rings game in development has logically been cancelled. However, Gollum will nevertheless receive the improvements promised by Daedelic last May.
