From what I could gather...
* layoffs probably due to having done massive hiring in order to get Going Rogue out of the gate on time. Now Paragon Studios is back to the same size it was a year ago.
* No 'official' confirmation if Christopher Bruce (Back Alley Brawler) was part of the layoffs or not, but all signs point to: yes. There's always the possibility he left under his own steam. He will be missed.
