They didn't appease my "release another TD Off Road" request... this is why they must die. tongue.gif But it does suck to see them go.

Citing massive layoffs, game developers at Eden Games went on a one day strike on May 11, 2011. 51 of the 80 employees were set to be fired by parent company Atari prompting workers to go on strike and present a list of demands to Atari's management. Their demands were to speak with Jim Wilson, the CEO of Atari (Eden Games' parent company), to negotiate the scheduled layoffs, to be paid the same amount as a worker at Atari, and to have more general clarity in the financial side of the business.

Source

I was curious so I just looked up the wiki for it and found this, seems alittle harsh for some workers that ( Upon first glance ) want the same paycheck as the rest of the employee's ?

I honestly don't know whats going on but I see alot of non-US Software houses going. Saddens me alot because of the lack of diversity we have now in games. ( How many times must I save the U.S by shooting Russians? ) I was so looking forward to homefront allowing me to play a faction invading the US and blowing it up ! biggrin.gif

TDU2 was just a sad game. There was so much Jersey Shore/social interaction types of crap in that game that it made me sick. The first game was actually really fun and I put in at least 100 hours into it.

I really enjoyed riding around doing whatever I want, exploring .. but I'm the guy who used to run around the entire WoW discovering everything.

In 80+ hours I've never actually done all the races, finally did the Ibiza cup to get the money for the Veyron and hated it, could go 200mph in the mclaren mp4-12c and actually stay on the road better.

Glad it was playable since the minute the game came out, Atari started chopping Eden.

I just love the scale of the game.

Man I loved the TDU series. I currently own TDU2 right now and I gotta say I love it. Just the scenery is pretty good tongue.gif

But sucks to see them go :/
