Ghostbusters canned?
Posted by bendz666 on July 29, 2008
In spite if the fact that the video games industry looks healthier than ever, some studios are still feeling the pinch. After the coming together of Activsion and Blizzard it looks like they have decided to have a bit of a cull. First in the firing line are Vivendi Games Mobile and Sierra Online. They have been defined as “non-strategic business units”. Ouch. Mike Griffith, Activision publishing CEo had this to say;
“We have conducted a thorough review of Vivendi Games’ brand portfolio and are retaining those franchises and titles that are a strong fit with out long-term product strategy.”
Seemingly those games that do not fit that criteria include Terminal Reality, Ghostbusters, 50: Cent: Blood on the Sand from Swordfish and Double Fine’s Brutal Legend. I must admit that I was looking forward to seeing how Ghostbusters turned out. Here’s hoping that another publisher picks it up. As for 50: Cent? Not so much.
