Disney Restructures, 350 Jobs Feared Lost
Epic Mickey developer rumoured to be hit.
Disney Interactive has announced a restructuring process that looks like to result in up to 350 job losses at the company. Warren Spector's Junction Point studio is rumoured to be one of the studios hit by the redundancy hammer.
Fears that nearly half of the company's workforce was to be axed came as it announced that it would be focusing on publishing digitally distributed projects.
"As part of setting a strategic direction for future success in the digital media space, the Disney Interactive Media Group today began a restructuring process," Disney said to Variety, while not exactly being forthcoming as to what that means for employees.
With Disney having closed Tron developer Propaganda Games last week, it seems that more bad times are on the horizons. Let's hope this affects as few people as possible.
