Electronic Arts Closes Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances Studio
That's 60 people looking for work
We would usually point out that we are in a time of economic uncertainty and depression and therefore jobs are on the line everywhere but let's face it, big publishers are constantly laying developers off as soon as their labour is no longer "top of mind". This time it's EA in Germany closing its Phenomic studio.
Closing the studio, responsible for Spellforce and Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances is "a small adjustment" according the EA in a statement which also reads:
"As part of EA's realignment in recent weeks, we have announced internally a small adjustment to some development staff to better focus our teams against priority growth areas. The decision to let people go is not something we take lightly and we are working to ensure that impacted employees are treated fairly and with respect for their contributions to EA, and with assistance to find other job opportunities.
"These are hard but essential changes as we focus on delivering great games and showing players around the world why to spend their time with us."
