March 10, 2019 Despite some layoffs from the department, one of Valve's long-time engineers says the company is still pursuing VR.
Valve has confirmed that 13 full time employees were laid off at Valve last month, and a number of contractors were let go at the same time. The exact nature of those layoffs are undisclosed, but some of those affected seem to be from the company’s VR and hardware division. Valve was working on new VR hardware as recently as last year, though much of that work wasn’t presented to the public. “Last month,” Valve says in a statement to UploadVR, “13 full time employees were let go and a portion of our contractor agreements were terminated. It’s an unfortunate part of business, but does not represent any major changes at the company. We thank those affected for their contribution and wish them well in future endeavors.” Nat Brown recently tweeted that he was no longer on Valve’s VR project, as of February 7. Other Valve employees have been removed from the company’s personnel page over the past month, as UploadVR notes, and those include people working on projects ranging from VR to the Steam Controller.from PCGamesN https://ift.tt/2NTTIkb
