Hopefully it isn't true but I suspect it probably is. Its a real shame to hear this. I sure wish the best of luck to those people who need to find new jobs, who coincidentally, are the same boat as myself now. Anyway, I hope we aren't looking at the same scenario at SOE and I hope that this development at Lucasarts doesn't effect SWG, but I bet it will. Well, I guess good luck...we all need it.

Anyone seen a mod post here for the past few days? I see no posts from Garva since the 9th and none from Virrago since the 10th.

I hate to see people lose their jobs.

maybe we can get better devs

Hopefully its just rumor and untrue that they're laying off employees...It always sucks when someone gets layed off and it will probaly effect this game some.

Its just another symbol of our crappy economy **cough**

u would think there is enough of the star wars pie for every1,

1 company getting a load of work off lucasarts need ppl themselves

maybe lucas should have done a deal, offload staff to them in exchange for cheaper deals of future software, and at least the staff would know what they are working on, eg. star wars, maybe send a few to SOE SWG dept to make it more star wars like.

Very very sad to hear the KOTR 3 team were dissolved today, :-(

this is not good for Us, the Devs, or the world games market

I'm probably wrong, but doesnt Sony Online Entertainment run and own SWG, not Lucas Arts? I know SoE has to ask permission to implement content into this game. I didn't know Lucas Arts had the full rights to it. I know when my CC gets billed, it goes to SOE, not Lucas Arts.

Unless Lucas Arts owns SoE, would SoE employee's even been affected by this?
