Apparently if you got a meeting request you were let go. If you got sent home you're safe. Then they'll move the remaining staff to EA Burnaby in a couple months.
Best NFS will always be Hot Pursuit 2, imo. Its sad that EA closed a great studio. Today also marked Microsoft layoffs also. All we need are some big investors and we can start our own publisher with the amount of talent looking for work.
So has anyone heard if these cuts were across the teams at blackbox, or if they really are killing NFS as many have speculated? I've also heard some speculating it was skate that was killed (like this thread title suggests) but no one seems to know for sure.
