Ok, if this is true, this is VERY bad news: according to a newsbit at AOBasher (they are usually pretty well informed), Funcom has sacked everyone except the AO team, thus putting their other projects, including Midgard, into the grave:
The entire mobile department and 20 other people in various "side projects" have been made temporally unemployed. Earlier this year, the division in Ireland, responsible for developing XBOX games, was also shut down.
We are cutting down on all auxiliary functions to focus 100% on Anarchy Online. Everyone who has been involved in AO is of course still securely holding on to their jobs, according to Funcom's manager for Public Relations, Marit Lund. |
