8More unfortunate news regarding jobs today as God of War: Ghost of Sparta developer – Ready at Dawn – has confirmed studio lay-offs. Thirteen staff have been given their P45′s as they simply could not be supported in the transition from one project to another. The full statement reads as follows;
“Most days we feel privileged to do what we do. Some days not so much. Today just plain sucks.
We’ve spent the majority of our time at RAD hiring the best and most talented people to join our team. Today, we had to let go of 13 of these people because we simply couldn’t keep them on board while one project finishes and another ramps up. Unfortunately, these are the woes of being independent…
It sucks. There are no other words for it.
We wanted to wish the best of luck to those guys and girls who have been a part of our crew. We sincerely hope that you will all land back on your feet real soon.”
It seems that there are a fair few game developers out looking for work today – we echo Ready at Dawn’s sentiments and wish them luck.

Both articles attributed to the ebb and flow of development but I’m guessing the global economy is influencing the number of lay-offs quite a bit.
Arses.

I frigging hate the term ‘sucks’ (but i’ll let them off because i assume they are American developers), but i concour, that it is shit that these guys have lost their jobs. (i coulda sworn they were making a new PSP game? ‘ghosts of sparta’)

Whether is “sucks” “shit” or not, it’s bad news for the 13 who are now jobless and just another statistic. Best wishes to the unlucky 13, I hope you get something soon.
