LucasArts ditching 100 employees, outsourcing development?
Various anonymous sources have been reporting that LucasArts has laid off 75 - 100 employees from the company and that LucasArts plans to outsource those jobs in the future.
If this is the case (and it looks like it if the layoffs are true) then things really don't look all too great for LucasArts as a development company.
We've heard from multiple sources today that LucasArts has laid off approximately 50-100 of its employees, including a handful of higher profile names like VP of Product Development Peter Hirschmann.
While LucasArts public relations did not get back to us today, several former LucasArts staffers did, with one telling us that 75-100 employees were laid off from the company, including the producer of LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Shawn Storc.
According to another source, up to 80% of staff has been laid off in departments such as Production Services, which includes QA and Compliance, with jobs planned to be outsourced overseas. Cuts were also said to be made in development, with art and programming staffers being laid off
Recently, LucasArts president Jim Ward resigned and although his departure was stated to be due to personal reasons, voices inside LucasArts were telling a different story. Apparently he left under pressure due to having different philospophies with other people in the company and it seems LucasArts may well be licensing Star Wars and Indiana Jones IP to third party developers instead of doing in-house development.While LucasArts public relations did not get back to us today, several former LucasArts staffers did, with one telling us that 75-100 employees were laid off from the company, including the producer of LEGO Indiana Jones and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Shawn Storc.
