Radical Staff Cuts

The Vancouver Sun (thanks
Edge Online)
reports another unfortunate round of developer layoffs, as around 100 employees
have been let go from Radical Entertainment, which represents approximately half
the staff of the Canadian developer. The cuts are the latest fallout from the
Activision Blizzard merger, as two of the studios' four projects were cut as
part of the newly merged company's focus on its bottom line. Word is: "Last
month, Activision Blizzard said it would go ahead with five games or franchises
including Radical's Crash Bandicoot, and Prototype, a new game created by
Radical that will debut in 2009. Radical's hit title Scarface: The World is
Yours was not listed. Rubin said Radical would be offering laid-off employees a
number of tools and resources to help them find new employment."
