Eidos Montreal, studion bakom Deus Ex: Human Revolution och Thief, meddelade för ett par timmar sedan att de nu säger upp 27 personer efter att ha färdigställt Thief. Såhär skriver man i sitt uttalande till spelpressen:
"Yes it is true we've let 27 people go today, unfortunately it's something that every major studio has to do sometimes in order to ensure you have the right set up for current and future projects. It's never a nice thing to do but we are genuinely trying to offer as much support as much as we can. We're trying to re-locate as many people as possible into other roles here or at our other studios and we've been in touch several studios in Montreal to arrange a career day for those affected by this. We're very thankful for all their hard work and we sincerely wish them well."
Tråkigt såklart, men ofta är det ju precis så det brukar se ut. En studio växer med 20-60 personer under slutskedet av en stor spelproduktion för att efter färdigställning säga upp merparten av extra-hjälpen man hyrt in.
