A few months ago they closed the London studio but now seems like Ignition is having a quite bad time.

The seventy-odd staff at Ignition’s Florida studio will have to relocate to Texas or find themselves without a job, Develop understands.

Official sources have confirmed that one of Ignition’s two US development studios is to close down.

Staff have been given the opportunity to relocate some 1,300 miles away to join the company’s Texas based outfit – a studio which, for now, has escaped Ignition’s recent flurry of cutbacks.

They spend 23 million in this:

And the reason of why some studios are havving a bad time this generation:

The blame falls all on the shoulder of Vijay Chadha ceo of ignition who from the start put a 24 year kid named Jeremy Stieglitz in charge of the whole studio a boy barely out of college who could not even balance his check book let alone a multi-million dollar AAA game. Stieglitz spent millions on getting employees to little shit land Gainesville Flkorida paying thousands to fly them down for interviews and hiring no talents and giving them outlandish salaries. The biggest mistake of all was when Vijay Chadha CEO with pressure from UTV their parent company and the 60% Disney shareholders suits wanted Ignition to present a premature slice of the game “Reich” to MICROSOFT AND SONY, the visuals werent ready nor the game play as it was all a mess. Chadha who was known to be a defender and friend to the creative spirit bent and got plugged in the ass by the Mouse. In the end 23 million was wasted on poor planning, untalented managers greedy producers and on a game director who was still wiping the milk off his mouth from sucking on his moms tit.
Janus by the way was the name of the original hero of the Reich game.

WOW, small studios can spend 23 million in pretty much nothing these days.

Woah! Careful with that concept art. It's worth $23 million.

I blame Wii Fit :P

wow

And that man heading the studio will likely not find a job in the biz for a while, if he does it would be a low man on the totem pole, he'll be lucky if he ever finds himself in charge of a team again.

Wow, hope they find jobs soon.

yep thats called poor management 

whats an 24 year old doing with such a job and 23 million dollars!!!!

sure if the budget was a 1 million max but Developers are pumping out AAA games in 2 years with that kind of money 

So who was the genius that put a 24 year old in charge?
