The exact number isn't known at the moment but it's apparently a small portion of their staff. http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/01/sega-of-america-lays-off-staff-in-the-u-s/

“As the gaming industry continues to evolve, companies must adapt and adjust in order to compete and succeed in an ever-changing environment. As a result of this, Sega of America has recently undergone a restructure that will enable the company to focus efficiently on developing new and existing content across digital platforms as well as continuing to focus on key brands for packaged goods.”

I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd love to see Sega Sammy keep the employees and fire the whole executive team of Sega West instead.

Well the money to buy Atlus had to come from somewhere.

The reason looks like the exact same as last time, almost a non-answer really. :/

Good luck to those affected, hope Webber's alright.

Are they potentially making way for the influx of Atlus USA employees? Anyway, this really bites. Best of luck to those affected.
