The list of studios that opened those years is much longer though.

DICE Canada

why have I never heard of this? We're they in some remote place in the arctic (alberta) or something?

What are they trying to tell us by making this list that we don't already know?

They were in London Ontario. They were formerly Sandbox studios before becoming dice Canada. When ea bought dice they shut down the studio. A lot of former dicers are here at DE.

They're missing a few of the Australian ones. They should make up about two thirds of the list.

Yeah, the secret message behind each Kotaku post is "another 20 minutes have passed."

Bedlam games too

I worked at Locomotive as a QA guy. That was a fun place to work, with a number of folks who'd been around the industry for a good while. Number of them moved on to Cryptic or other places afterwords.

No mention of ACES Studios (MS Flight Simulator).

Even though Kotaku ran an article on it. That's some great journalism there, Lou.

They also got the id Software layoff news from a Neogaf thread, which cited my Twitter as the source.

I wonder what it would look like if they listed all the new studios that have opened since 2006, or greatly expanded their teams. Despite the crap that happens in a rough economy and competitive marketplace, there has been plenty of growth too - no use in dwelling exclusively on the negative.

bad news sell. Or else everyone would read the weekly newspaper of the local church community... just sensationalist reporting
