It''s official The End of An Era Interplay is dead! Also ION
Sigh the rumours were true and I know there is a topic but that's for the rumours.

From RPGDot:
Multiple sources tell us that all is not well at Deus Ex & Thief 3 developer ION Storm. Apparently some 20 - 25 people have been laid off at the Eidos owned Austin based developer. That's not all though as Warren Spector is said to be leaving the company as well. If we receive any more details we'll be sure to post them.
Update: Other sites have confirmed with Eidos that people have been let go, though Eidos denies that Spector is going anywhere.
Update 2: More details are coming in. It looks like people leaving/being laid off is just the start of it, as the company is also changing names..and going PS2 development only.
However, an Eidos executive contacted by GameSpot denied that Spector had exited the organization. "Warren is still there," he said, but would not elaborate. As to the layoffs, the Eidos exec refused to confirm or deny they had occurred. "With the completion of projects, there is always a review of teams," he said, refusing to comment further.

You could no more evade my wrath... than you could your own shadow!

). There is no reason that you couldn't have used the other thread. Still, there's not much point arguing about as what's done is done. Anyway, that's my last word on this subject
