据TechCrunch报导，前十大Facebook应用开发公司之一的RockYou最近大量裁减员工。该公司的主要社交游戏有Zoo World和新发售的Toy Land，另外其开发的生日贺卡应用也取得了巨大成功。最近，位于红木城的RockYou公司表示，这次裁员主要是为了重组公司，专注开发社交游戏。据一位知情人士称，RockYou公司本次一共裁减了三分之一的员工，以非游戏开发类工程师为主。

RockYou公司现有风险融资额度高达1亿2500万美元。在社交游戏领域收购、投资、快速发展的同时，RockYou的此次大裁员不免令人对这一大型的Facebook游戏公司有些失望。现在，RockYou公司网站的招聘页面中一共有25个职位，其中以产品经理、工程师和营销人员为多。（本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

RockYou, one of the top 10 Facebook application developers, has laid off a huge portion of their staff today, according to TechCrunch. RockYou is most known in the social gaming space for their title Zoo World and their new game Toy Land, but have also achieved massive success with their Birthday Cards application. The developer, based out of Redwood City, California, has stated that this layoff was a restructuring of the company in order to support their new direction of solely creating social games. Though the article at TechCrunch reports that less than half of the company was laid off, a commenter who claims to be one of those who were let go today has stated that the number was closer to 70% of the company. (Edit: A source from RockYou has contacted us to correct this statement, saying that it was actually around 30%, mostly engineering and not game development.)

RockYou has raised over 125 million dollars in funding to date, and has almost 24,000 monthly active users across all of their applications. With all of the buzz around acquisitions, funding, and positive growth for social games, it’s disappointing to see a major loss like this for one of the largest Facebook game companies. A quick glimpse at the jobs page on the RockYou website shows over 25 jobs available, most in the areas of Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing. （source: Games.com）
