Offerpal Forced Into Layoffs After Being Overlooked By Facebook Credits

When Facebook recently chose TrialPay as their offer provider for Facebook Credits, they also chose to overlook other possible offer providers like Offerpal and Super Rewards.  Decisions like that have big consequences for companies like Offerpal that derive a majority of their income from Facebook games that use or are switching to Facebook credits, and the hammer has come down at Offerpal as they today announced a series of layoffs directly affected by the Facebook decision.

The story was broken by TechCrunch, as the CEO wrote an open letter that described the problems that precipitated the layoffs.
