Engelske Lionhead Studios som i de senere år har stått for spill som Black & White 2, The Movies og Fable, er nødt til å sparke ca. 100 medarbeidere. Om det er det angivelige dårlige salget av The Movies eller om nedskjæringene skyldes annet, men Lionheads Community-chef Sam Van Tillburgh, sa følgende i en post på det offisielle forumet:
"Over the last few months Lionhead has been working on plans for a new AAA world class game. As work on a number of its titles draws to a close, a pool of 100 super talented developers at Lionhead are available to create a new super team at Lionhead. This will be in addition to an existing team which is working on an amazing next generation title. This strategy was presented to Lionhead this morning in a company meeting, but sadly it will mean some redundancies. We are still continuing our support of The Movies, with new downloads on the Propshop, an add-on disk in summer, and the announcement of the winner of the Chrysler competition."
Vi holder naturligvis øye med utviklingen i saken.
