I'm not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic, but like Lith said, at least they got 3 months. In the past, we've heard stories of management locking the doors while the employees were out at lunch...

It sucks, no doubt. But they got a better deal than some folks. Hopefully they'll get something else lined up soon. Good luck to them.

"Sony drops Kevin Butler ad agency."

That's not a smart move. I thought Kevin did an awesome job, always found his ads entertaining. Then when he walked on stage at E3 I believe it was with a beer in his hand and gave that speech, it was priceless.

And we think EA is bad at shutting games down:

"Zynga is closing down three of the six titles it launched last quarter following their disappointing performance, the company announced in a financial call today.

Facebook games Cityville 2 and The Friend Game didn't make the cut. Neither did the mobile release, Party Place."

The world will be a better place without Zynga in it. They're worse than EA.

Welcome to last week! The Epic Mickey devs will be folding in a few days...

I remember being very disappointed to hear that Warren was going to be making Disney games. Nothing against Disney or its IP, but it seemed like a waste of talent. I still have tremendous faith in Warren, and hope that he gets his mojo back. Less Epic Mickey, more Deus Ex.

Exactly my thought, NINE STUDIOS WTF?

Its not like their game list is huge.

Where the heck does Crytek get all of this money? Crysis 2 sold well, but not that well.

From Cryteks second business, cocaine!

Zeschuk -- "the fire wasnt there"

and that as least partly explains the rushed and non-innovative game that was Mass Effect 3.

More power to him in his new pursuits of course.

Unfortunately, Warren has been done since Deus Ex: IW.

I'd say the same for Harvey Smith, if it wasn't for Ralph Colantonio giving Harvey "a quickening" with Dishonored.

That's pretty much what Warren needs... A creative studio head that was inspired by Looking-Glass Studios early work... bringing him in as a partner on a new project... and getting those old school RPG design juices flowing again.
