Sounds like visceral is in trouble too. At what point does the game industry just collapse? I already avoid Facebook because of almost daily posts from friends about layoffs.

Yeah, 2d web games are a massive departure from mobile. No room to pivot there at all.

I didn't even know a Mirror's Edge 2D game even existed. Gave it a shot - who's idea was it to make 's' jump instead of spacebar or the up arrow?
Anyhow, good luck to those that were cut. I hope you land on your feet quickly. |

I played Dragon Age Legends, I enjoyed the game but the monetization model was horrid. Like all recent EA FTP games. Sadly, the whole studio suffers because of one or two people.

Just another example of the ineptness of EA execs.

Well, let's read into this part a little bit: '(it was) "too expensive" for EA to keep BioWare San Francisco running in the Redwood Shores, CA area.'
My guess would be they are planning, much like Gameloft does, to open studios in very cheap areas where they can pay much lower wages, such as: Vietnam, Thailand, China, etc. |
