In what is unfortunate news, developers at Blue Omega Entertainment have been laid off today. Starting this past Friday, the entire team behind the steampunk title, Damnation, was released due to poor sales and other various reasons.

The announcement was made on the company's Twitter account. While poor sales of Damnation had something to do with it, there have also been years of legal disputes with the developer. These disputes mostly took place between publisher, Codemasters and sub-contractors Velvetelvis Studios and Point of View.

It was said that Codemasters originally took off the Blue Omega team from the game development and allowed Point of View to continue work. Because of this new change, this caused Codemasters to miss deadlines on the game and leading up to charges in up to $75,000. Codemasters is seeking damages in its claim in court.
