(Correction) Toys for Bob office shutting down. Studio exists in some capacity. (Previous report based on article mistake)

This is extremely sad to see. Activision had many issues but to see the company slowly deteriorate isn't good and will have severe implications for everyone down the road.

Crash and Spyro should be with PS.
Why they should of bought them back before MS bought Activision

 

[anonpuffs]

The IPs will still be owned by Activision, the games will still be made but by other devs but i feel bad for the devs losing their jobs

Do you really believe this?

Why remove a studio that is great at making these platformers to just hand it to another one , makes no sense

Crash working overtime on xbox

It's weird because it looks like the office got shut down, but there are still people on that team.

Lol no more crash is a lie. They can have other studios do it

Good News:
Toys for Bob is not closing down.

Bad News:
Some were let go and they closed the physical office.

I don't think this means Toys for Bob is closed at all, and Jez quoted this tweet saying that he also has confirmation they are not closing down.

I'll edit the title.

Hopefully they can work on Crash again at some point.

You can't even name a single studio?

They still closed the office after layoffs so it's not totally wrong. Just add the word office.

Just a note... Be careful about sources and if there is some doubt, wait a while to confirm a story.

Or you can post it as a rumor.

I thought only really small indie teams could function with no office.

The source is an official newspaper in San Francisco where the office is located. The journalist doesn't even cover gaming news so it's not clickbait.

It's better than a tweet from a fanboy and we have tons of threads about them everyday.

Oh yeah, I mean we are a forum and the source seems legit. We just discuss the news as it comes.

But it's good to remind people anyway imo.

There was a significantly larger reaction on reddit for Bungie laying off 100 people than there is this small studio laying off 86 people.

And all the Xbox fans just defend it by saying "stufio is not closed" whil ignoring the large amount of layoffs

Cant make this up
