Yeah layoffs right as First Light probably finishes development. Can't wait for all the doom over this now. It can't possibly be that people are done with Infamous and want to move onto another studio for different types of games. Quite common as almost everyone in this thread knows, but other fans don't seem to grasp that concept.
*edit* many reasons for the layoffs.
-some could have been fired, no doubt about that
-some might have been on contracts just for the duration of the project and are now leaving
-some want to leave to move onto other studios and spread their wings :-p
Also i believe a lot of people leave when they are finished working on a franchise but the studio is doing another sequel so that person leaves to work on something new. Part of me would love another infamous, but sucker punch deserves to move on and create something new, unique and full of awesome sauce.
