NC Soft fires 70 at Austin studio

NCsoft has confirmed previous rumours that they’ve laid off 70 of their over 300 employees at NCsoft-Austin (in Texas). Rumored to get hit the hardest were their QA and GM departments (of course!). Rumours originally broke on a large, private industry-insider’s forum and were quickly picked up by games blog f13.net. Rumored to be at the root of the problems is City of Heroes/Villains dwindling subscriber-base (now supposedly dropping under 100,000 total), the slow-start that new title, Auto Assault, is off to, and the huge flaming money pit that Tabula Rasa has turned into. There’s no news on how, if at all, this will effect ArenaNet and Guildwars development. It’s time to launch that universal subscription fee NCsoft, you’d get me back if only I could play Lineage II, CoH, and Auto Assault all at one low price. Condolences all around to those who are now without work.
