Swordfish Studio's in Trouble?

[Kage]

There are rumours that the new Activision/ Blizzard merger may result in some Vivendi owned studios being closed down or sold off.

I think as a studio they will probably be ok but it looks like the 50 cent game they had been working on may not get released. it was probably close to completion I assume so hopefully on the finical front it won't hurt too much. it will be interesting to see what happens to some of these ***les that activision doesn't want. apparently sierria have come out and said ghostbusters is still on track I guess they might have to find another publisher for it though.

anyway just another source on this all situation

Pitty. There's a huge niche market a few of us are familiar with which they could be working on developing something for, they're experienced at doing and the market is currently starved of a new project...

It'll be a very sad day for gaming if Swordfish are made extinct. I went for a walk round there when Trev was sponsoring TRF... what an incredible day that was. So passionate about video games.

Should have been left to make sports games, it's what they're good at.
