Age of Conan dev Funcom is to drop 20 percent of its workforce, according to E24, resulting in a “significant delay” to upcoming MMO The Secret World.
The game had never been officially dated, but was expected in 2010.
The company employs around 300 staff, so 60 jobs look set to go.
Funcom’s currently in the process of relocating to Quebec and it’s debatable legal games-related tax breaks. It lost $34 million last year.

not really. Blizzard are doing just fine from pc development alone. Conan is a poor product, released in a very competitive market and shortly before WAR came out – it didnt stand much of a chance tbh as clearly Eidos pushed out early

Blizzard are, EA make a decent amount off the Sims to. Every other dev on the otherhand is another story…
And anyway, i was talking about Funcom, not the whole industry.

I really hope that funcom does not glorify the templers,illumanti and the dragons. Those groups are all evil and satanic.
