Yield Guild Games Shuts Down Publishing Arm

Yield Guild Games is making big changes to its business model. The company announced it is closing its game publishing arm known as YGG Play. This move involves letting go of 35 employees who were working on that side of the business.

Co founder Gabby Dizon shared the news on social media early this week. He noted that the company is providing eight weeks of severance pay to those affected by the layoffs. The team is also working to help these former staff members connect with new job opportunities.

The guild gained fame by popularizing play to earn gaming mechanics during the last market cycle. By closing the publishing unit, the organization is pivoting away from its previous strategy to focus on its core guild operations. Traders will be watching to see how this restructuring affects the long term focus of the project.
