Kotaku is rumouring that EA has shut its Pandemic Studio in Brisbane, Australia.
The ‘Destroy All Humans!’ developer was apparently “set free” allowing the team to retain its original IP and equipment.
“It was more of a ‘Find a new publisher. Good luck.’ kind of thing,” says the source.
Last year it emerged that The Dark Knight game-of-the-movie was canned because Pandemic Studios “couldn’t keep up.”
We wish Pandemic the best of luck in its future endeavours.

Remember everyone – the games industry is ‘recession-proof’!

It is, so long as they can shut enough devs down to keep their profits steady! \o/

Quite a few mistakes in that piece.

I think EA would do that with them anyway.
and Blerk – I guess you do know what’s happening in other industries?.. and plenty of studios were shut down in the past, yet everyone starts noticing it only because of this reccesion.
