EA Cutting Maxis Jobs

]]> Maxis Logo

It’s going to be a very dark month for some people at Maxis as EA announces that they are cutting back at the popular gaming studio.

I’m not sure how much of a surprise this announcement really is since back in 2008, it was announced that EA was already planning on cutting jobs since games like Need for Speed: Undercover, Mirror’s Edge and Rock Band 2 had been under preforming.

Then again, with The Sims franchise being the top selling franchise in history, you would think that Maxis would be cushioned from this downsizing.

It’s sad but inevitable these days.

Hopefully the people who have lost their jobs or who are losing their jobs will find jobs at other studios.

Spore on iPhone SDK

]]> Spore has been in the works for what seems like a coon’s age and might actually be released sometime this century…maybe.

Now, for all of you iPhone fans, I present to you Spore on iPhone SDK and I must say that it looks pretty sweet.

SimCity Box Set

]]> simcity_classic_cover_art.jpgThere’s no doubt that Maxis has sold the hell out of SimCity since it’s debut way back in ‘89. And by “sold the hell out of” I mean they’ve sold over 17 million of the games since the original launch.

Yesterday, EA announced that they will be offering a five-in-one box set of the ever popular game to be released in June of this year. The set will include SimCity Societies, SimCity Societies Destinations, SimCity 4, SimCity 4 Rush Hour, and Sims Carnival SnapCity.

The entire set is valued at around $100 USD but will be sold in the US for $39.99 USD.

Talk about a bargain!
Awesome picture came from Wikipedia under the fair use rationale.
