Double Fine has reportedly cut around a quarter of its workforce after separating from Microsoft. The reduction is significant because it affects a well-known games studio and follows a change in its corporate ownership or relationship with its former parent company.

The supplied article text contains no further reporting beyond a page-access notice, so the reasons for the cuts, the number of jobs affected, timing, and Microsoft’s role cannot be independently summarised from it. The headline attributes the staffing reduction to the period after the separation, but does not establish a direct cause.
