I'm sorry, but the fact that they tried to bury all this under E3 news feels a little callous to me.
@Lycan: It was.
@Article: Doing it today feels calculated to me. This sucks for those affected and I wish them the best. Allstars was awesome.

It was reported here, it's just been buried under all the E3 stuff.

These are people that have a job, show up, and do it. Most of them are trying to get a foot in the door, and a few are senior tech. They probably have no predilection towards any game company or console. They just want to make games.
I don't like responding to shitty or troll like posts, but yours just sucks. Those are people that lost their job. Sorry if you don't like their games, or what their publisher makes them do to sell those games.
That's a bunch of people that don't have a job tomorrow, and you want them to be unemployed? Aren't you an awesome human being...

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I can't help but relate the number of lay-offs more to the Oversaturation of the AAA gaming market. It feels like 3x per month some studio is releasing a "must have" title, forcing you to choose between games that you want vs games that you think will be "must have". With the amount of filth entering the AAA market, most people would rather take a chance on an Indie title, or hit the next CoD clone vs taking the risk on a $60 title that will dash their hopes and leave them broke. Between Max Payne 3, Prototype 2, Game of Thrones, Diablo 3, Ghost Recon, or Minecraft....which one do you KNOW will be good, judging by word of mouth alone?
Just sayin.

@Onyx you misunderstand. I'm not claiming that what THQ Sand Diego did was a Call of Duty clone, just that when push comes to shove, are you more willing to take a risk with your $60 or pay for something you know you are getting? As a huge MMA fan, I skipped over the newest UFC game due to other lineups. There are so many games being released each month that even games I think I WANT are being pushed aside as a result. This industry is now a money making machine. THQ SD and 38 Studios are examples of what happens due to over-saturation.

Licensed games like UFC will continue to happen due to the demand from the property holder wishing for an annual tie-in to their product
I can't speak for 38 Studios. However they only released one game and I don't exactly see Kingdoms being an issue of market saturation, more of an issue with mismanagement

Good move for THQ, this will result in a better, stronger THQ, with a focus on AAA titles, not games for rednecks.
