Square Enix is laying off employees in the US and Europe

Square Enix is set to become the latest game company to put employees out of work, as the company has confirmed it will soon be imposing layoffs at its US and EU offices.

Hints of trouble first came to light in Square Enix's new "medium term business plan" revealed earlier today, in which it laid out a strategy to "aggressively pursue" multiplatform game development, as well as "initiative designed to win over PC users, which represent a growth market."

That all sounds well and good...
