Not surprised about EverWild.
That was the one that looked more like a proof of concept right? where it was like "now we need to build a game around our idea" thing.
I feel like it was shown off so many times with differnt looks, it was clear they didn't really have strong direction with it.
Stuff like that is bound to end up a mess.
Perfect dark cancelled is a surprise. Alot of xbox guys were looking forwards to that one.
While some of the people laid off are supposedly Sales/Marketing people, the article quotes alot of studios with people going away.
"User research & Quality Controll" cut in half... is also a surprise.
9,000 is alot of people.
