But "business as usual" for UK department

Future Publishing has confirmed it has made 19 staff redundant in the US.

The positions are across the whole business, and not necessarily in videogame departments, said a spokesperson.

"Actions taken by Future US were made to address specific challenges in that territory," said the company in a statement.

"In the UK it remains business as usual as we continue to manage a portfolio of magazines, websites and events through tough economic conditions."
