- Post a comment Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) sent out
a press release annoucing "another step in its turnaround plan to improve
operating effectiveness, reduce costs and position for growth. The changes
include a significant staff reduction in its North American based operations
resulting in the elimination of 350 staff positions." Fortunately, the Company's
Blizzard Entertainment studio was not part of the staff reduction. According to
PR, VU Games plans to release World of Warcraft from Blizzard Entertainment.

Suit Larry, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, Van Helsing,
Ground Control II, Fight Club and Spyro: A Hero's Tail. |
