Just Before Skate 2 Releases, EA Black Box Lays Off Majority of Staff (Gamasutra)

  11:12 PM - January 22, 2009 by Steve_OS
Gamasutra has the details.

Quote:
"Upwards of 200 of the Electronic Arts-owned development house are said to have been let go; the company's website pegs its total size as over 350.

Other employees are said to have been given the opportunity to relocate elsewhere within EA.

The move is part of an ongoing effort on the part of the global publisher to reduce company-wide staff size by about 10 percent. Last month, an EA statement indicated that Black Box's teams and projects would be folded into EA's nearby Burnaby studio.

This week, Black Box shipped Skate 2 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."

Ouch - more sad news by the day. Hope Skate 2 doesn't need a patch.
