Kotaku is reporting that Grin has laid off anywhere from 100 to 160 employees. The Swedish developer is apparently shuttering its Gothenburg and Barcelona offices along with cutting back roughly 30 jobs in their Stockholm HQ.
Grin has released Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Bionic Commando and Terminator Salvation since March 2009. Whether the layoffs are simply a staff reduction after the conclusion of major projects or a byproduct of financial difficulties at the studio is unknown. GameDaily BIZ has contacted Grin and is awaiting comment.

Let's see - they put out horrible games with 3 different publishers, had lavish offices, and horrible work worth ethics (the latter probably contributed to the first). And now they have to let go staff? SHOCKING!!
