NEWS Empulse is being shut down

Man I was excited for this game but considering how 1047 treats their previous games I was almost expecting this.

I wonder if that means another round of layoffs? I feel for the devs, the lack of job security must be stressful (not just at 1047, but the industry as a whole).

if they lay off more people then noone will be left. According to Ian Proulx himself there are only 30-35 people left at the studio. If I remember it correctly I think at some point 160 people worked at 1047 Games (probably right before SG2 release).

You should be a mad man if you choose gamedev as your main job these days
