EA Shuts Down Pandemic Studios, Cuts 200 Jobs 161
lbalbalba writes "Electronic Arts is shutting down its Westwood-based game developer Pandemic Studios just two years after acquiring it, putting nearly 200 people out of work. 'The struggling video game publisher informed employees Tuesday morning that it was closing the studio as part of a recently announced plan to eliminate 1,500 jobs, or 16% of its global workforce. Pandemic has about 220 employees, but an EA spokesman said that a core team, estimated by two people close to the studio to be about 25, will be integrated into the publisher's other Los Angeles studio, in Playa Vista.' An ex-developer for Pandemic attributed the studio's struggles to poor decisions from the management."

Yeah Karmic was a load of shit. I have been running Ubuntu for just over a year now and was really really excited about the new release. I downloaded, installed and I thought it looked really nice. However once I installed my ATI driver it just shat itself. 3 re-installs and a driver compile it still fails. Now I'm running Jaunty and couldn't be happier.
