“Today is a challenging day for Lost Boys Interactive as we face the difficult decision to reduce our workforce,” said Lost Boys CEO Shaun Nivens. “We recognize the impact of this decision on our team members, who have contributed greatly to our success. Decisions involving staff reductions are never made lightly, and this action was taken only after considering all other options. We are committed to supporting them in every way we can during this transition.”
