Pokémon Go' developer Niantic is laying off 230 employees

Niantic is joining the long list of companies laying off employees. The studio published an “organizational update” (after the internal memo was leaked to Kotaku) announcing that it would let go of 230 employees. In addition, the company is shutting down its Los Angeles studio and canceling two licensed games: NBA All-World and Marvel: World of Heroes. The only good news for fans is that Pokémon Go, still its flagship product, will live to fight another day.
