    Hey cool, some news about jobs coming to the US instead of being shifted overseas.

    Funcom is a Norwegian company (from Oslo) so coming to the US is still overseas :p

    If you ask me, they made a lot of bullshit since they decide to be a corporation some years ago, 5 or so.

    Now they gonna rewert their bullshit in a corporate way and call it "restructuring".

    Yeah, what are they going to say next?  Their "investors" have a say in "how they run their company"?  That their "finances" need to be "looked at"?  The nerve.

    I'm not sure what the big news is here, MMORPG.com. Funcom already said they would be centralizing their studios into one studio. Adding all these individual stories about the move, is only over-dramatizing the matter. Something I would expect to see on CNN.

    Funcom's restructuring may well lead to bankruptcy  in the next year or so.

    So basically, jobs that were previously outsourced to China will now be handled primarily by American artists and animators.

     

    Yeah, not seeing the bad thing here.

    What happens when the Conan ip license is up? will the owners be looking for a newer game made? could Funcom be in SWG territory if they make it that far. I cannot imagine many companies interesting in Funcom no real IP's worth having this isn't Bioware or even Relic, this is a small no-name outfit with little worth buying big companies want established IP's to mine what does funcom have really?

    So American workers, who all ready had there hands full are now being told they have even more work to do,  but its not a bad thing?
