FireAxis Suffers LayOffs

Firaxis, the studio headed up by legendary strategy game creator, Sid Meier will be suffering lay offs due to "realignment of development resources at the studio," says publisher Take-Two.

Firaxis is currently working on the fifth installment in the Civilization series. However, Take-Two has assured fans layoffs will not affect Civ 5.

"Firaxis has realigned its development resources in order to streamline its development process, reduce costs and maximize the overall performance of the studio," it said.

"This will result in the elimination of 20 positions. These reductions will not impact Firaxis' ability to create and deliver AAA titles, including its forthcoming Sid Meier's Civilization V and Sid Meier's Civilization Network for Facebook."

Civ 5 stood out as one of the most exciting PC games at this years E3,so its a very unfortunate event.
