This is proof more than anything that Warhammer has failed to meet even the low expectations. You don't lay off people from a team that is firing on all cylinders.

Blizzard was able to fend off Vivendi because, well, how do you argue with millions of subscriptions. Mythic really should have tried harder, now it's completely clear they are not in control of their own destiny.

Using your logic, 90% of the companies in the US are totally failing right now. Everyone is cutting costs, trimming staff, and squeezing budgets.

EA is laying off 10% of their staff in total. Using your logic, all of their games are fail?

Remember the day EA bought Mythic? Go look for some photos of that presser, Jacobs has a smile on his face like you wouldn't believe. He was spewing about how EA would let them do their own thing, that it would be business as usual at Mythic, etc.

If this is in fact true I cannot wait to see how Jacobs will spin it and make it look like a positive - he'll claim that the QA team is now more nimble since it only has 2 people on it now.
