20% of funcom staff to be fired or put on forced leave. TSW delayed

Seems like almost every MMO company is cutting staff these days. Not good for upcoming games.

Typical that they delay TSW, the idea is actually very neat (I just love Chaosiums "Delta green").

Hi all

 

This is 6months old. According to TSW's dev Ragnar Tornquist, the game is not being delayed, but another funcom project called dreamfall will. Thank god i guess that its being developed in Norway rather than the states or Canada.

 

you can find his blog here http://ragnartornquist.com/ and if interested you can look for the "definitely not indefinite" post

Yeah this is very old news, and I believe at the same time or just after they anounced the terminations, they anounced there were opening a new location in Canada I believe, but I may be wrong with that. From what I remember though I don't think they were actually losing any people overall, and may in fact have hired more than what they had before these layoffs.

I ALMOST feel bad, that when funcom banned me from the aoc forums for complaining about the multitude of missing promised features, I actually said...."when you guys start losing your jobs over there, im gonna giggle like a schoolgirl"

the problem is the ones responsible kept their jobs or willingly left and the ones who got canned were "just doing what they were told"
