Sega has confirmed that it has made 73 staff redundant in its London and San Francisco offices.

Headcount has been reduced by 36 in San Francisco and 37 in London, representing about 12% of Sega West’s workforce.

The Sega layoffs were confirmed in an interview with IndustryGamers. Sega will be reorganising to drive all digital publishing out of San Francisco and all packaged goods out of London.

Bad news for European devs trying to pitch online projects.

These layoffs are in addition to the closure of Sega’s San Francisco development studio earlier in April.

Added to the Job Loss Tracker.
