I dont get SimsGuruLyndsay's announcement

Dariu

So I woke up this morning, read the online news
whilst sipping my cup of warm milk tea
and saw the news...
and yes. i spurt out alot of milk tea onto my screen..

so quickly i logged on the forums after being somewhat inactive for days
and i saw SimsguruLyndsay's posts...


...the thing is...

The Sims and SimCity will, however, continue on even without the studio that created them. Sister studios in Salt Lake City, Redwood Shores, Helsinki and Melbourne will continue their efforts in producing DLC content and mobile ports for both franchises.

Nevertheless, it’s a shame to see a studio with such a rich history dismantled. Hopefully, the talented men and women working at Maxis Emeryville will be able to find a suitable home for their skills; EA maintains that opportunities are being offered up, despite the fact that SimCity gameplay scripter Guillaume Pierre tweeted earlier that ‘everyone’s out of a job’.

whats going on there?

The beginning of the end??

One of the studios is being shut down that brought us many of our favorite Maxis games. Sims and Sims City will still be around. Just the original studio that produced them will be sold. So workers from that studio will either find jobs at the Salt Lake city studio or Maxis will help them secure jobs at other places.

Further information about it is being discussed in this thread:

Conflicting reports.... but I'll believe the people who are losing their jobs over the company firing them....
