En av fem må gå i Funcom

...og The Secret World blir utsatt

Dårlige økonomiske tider rammer de fleste, og spillbransjen er intet unntak. I dag kunne nettstedet E24 fortelle at Funcom i en fersk børsmelding gjør det klart at de kommer til å nedbemanne med hele 20% for å kutte kostnader, og da spesielt her i Norge. For kort tid siden gjorde de også kjent at de vil flytte store deler av den norske bemanningen til et nytt studio i spillhovedstaden Montreal i Canada.

Funcom har per i dag 300 ansatte i fire land, og i tillegg til utviklingen av nye tilleggspakker til Age of Conan: The Hyborean Adventures, jobber de for tiden med The Secret World, et nettrollespill satt i moderne tid, hvor mytologiske monstre lurer rundt hvert gatehjørne. Dette vil derimot bli utsatt med flere måneder grunnet de nye kostnadskuttene.

- Vi tror fortsatt at det vil være utfordrende å komme i mål med The Secret World før kassa er tom, gitt blant annet utviklings- og lanseringskostnadene som var knyttet til Age of Conan, forteller Fredrik Thoresen, analytiker i DnB, til E24.

Et lite lys i mørket er det likevel, spesielt for Conan-fansen. Både den kommende tilleggspakken Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer og den koreanske lanseringen av nettrollespillet vil komme som planlagt.

    Jeg skulle ønske Funcom kunne ta seg en pause med å lage MMO spill. De har (hadde) relativt mange folk så de kunne vel satt et team til patching og fiksing på Age of Conan mens de kunne ha laget AAA prosjekter, eventuelt mindre spill med et annet team. Og da tenker jeg ikke MMO. Jeg har et bilspill Funcom lagde til PS1. Det heter Speed Freaks og er ganske morsomt, lag noe sånt!
