C&C4 Layoff Rumor [Nov 10, 2009, 9:03 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Kotaku follows up on yesterday's announcement of layoffs at EA saying they've heard from "sources" that the team working on Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight was warned today that they will be laid off when the RTS sequel ships sometime next year. They also add a few other teams to the list of employees in danger of job loss, saying their source tells them the Spore team and Pandemic Studios LA (Mercenaries and The Saboteur) are also part of the massive cuts.
EA is a big company and big companies only give a shit about big money makers. That means big blockbusters. Mainstream audience. Lowest common denominator. Movies, music, games, it's all the same. If you want something out of the ordinary then you can't go to the big company for it.
It happens this way everywhere in our capitalism-run-amok society. Take a look at checkout aisles in stores to see what appeals to everyone. Candy and gossip?
C&C RTS and oddball action games with proven-small audiences have no place in a billion dollar blockbuster business like EA. Wave goodbye.
