Unfortunate news for English developer

Despite any poor reviews we may give a game, it’s always sad to see the studio that makes it close, if for no other reason than for all the people left unemployed in the wake of the closure. It’s even worse when it happens during the holidays, like it did late last year with THQ closing its uDraw studio. It turns out that around the same time EA was quietly ending a studio of its own at the same time, as news has come out on the closure of EA Bright Light.

Electronic Arts has said that some employees will be joining fellow EA studios Criterion and Playfish. Our hearts go out to all touched by this, and we wish them the best of luck in their futures.
