A Bizarre Ending
The eleventh hour is upon Bizarre Creations who have been given the recommendation to close up shop. Activision previously gave the studio a 90 day warning as it looked into other possibilities, but after failing to find a suitable buyer for the studio, Activision has officially recommended Bizarre Creations close their doors. Bizarre's most recent efforts come in the form of Blur, which according to Activision failed to find a commercial audience and 007: Bloodstone which performed poorly in the sales department. The closure of Bizarre Creations will see 200 people jobless, but Activision will be offering assistance with counseling and external placement services. Personally, i quite liked Blur and i know people who loved Bloodstone, plus the Project Gotham Racing series was always good, so the team clearly has talent and it will be sad to see the studio close, but i'm sure everyone there will have luck finding new opportunities elsewhere.
