Voodooextreme acaba de
publicar una noticia que todavía está sin confirmar por ninguna de las dos partes. Las dos
partes en cuestión son Electronic Arts y Westwood, y la noticia en cuestión es que se una fuente
de información fiable (según ellos) habla de despidos en Westwood, y para empeorar las cosas, no
se trata de simples empleados sino de los desarrolladores del C&C original, entre ellos
Brett Sperry. Cuando sepamos más, se confirme o se desmienta lo publicaremos. A continuación el
texto original de Voodooextreme.
Westwood Woes?
10:44 AM - James "Prophet" Fudge - Games:

Well since everyone and the mother seems to have an inside
source reporting something we figured we might as well jump on the bandwagon. A reliable source
inside Westwood Studios let us know that 30 people from their Las Vegas studio have been given
the axe -- and these aren't just mid-level developers either, these are the big boys - some of
the original C&C developers. Our source also tells us that Brett Sperry has left the
building. Apparently room is being made for EA to move some people in. Co-founder Louis Castle
isn't too happy about this move on EA's part even through a number of developers inside the
company would like to blame him for it. Our source was also very candid about a few mid-level
developers within Westwood who are apparently making a power play -- and have saved their own
jobs in the midst of this massive cutback. This entire report is unconfirmed by both Westwood
Studios and Electronic Arts -- if this is true it could be very bad for C&C
fans....
