Sierra On-Line sacks 148 more staffVivendi Universal follows-up closure of DynamixPublished Thursday 16th August 2001 11:58 GMT
The closure of Dynamix and the resulting 97 lay-offs was just part of a major reorganisation at Sierra On-Line, which saw another 148 people being sacked at Bellevue and a further 20 transferred to Los Angeles, as well as the virtual annihilation of the Sierra Home software label. Vivendi's other studios, Blizzard and Universal Interactive, were both apparently uneffected by the reorganisation, but they must be a little nervous after this. Sierra president Michael Ryder insisted that "while any reorganisation involving staff reductions is difficult, there is no doubt that this is the right thing to do for the business". ® Copyright © 2001, Eurogamer.net.
