Bizarre Ending

Hold onto your hats (and controllers) Project Gotham Racing fans, as Bizarre Creations time may be running out. Rumour broke out over Twitter that Activision had closed the studio down today, firing 200 people. Naturally, this wasn't true. Activision have responded to the rumour saying that since their purchase of Bizarre Creations the fundamentals of racing games has changed and despite their efforts to create a new IP (Blur) they haven't had much success with the company. As such, they ARE looking into selling the company and other alternatives, and under U.K. Statutory requirement, Activision has given the staff a 90 day notice saying some type of restructuring or closure will occur.
