Cyan Worlds Cuts Nearly Entire Staff
September 6th, 2005 (4:07pm) - In a shocking move, famed developer Cyan Worlds, developers of the Myst series, laid off nearly all of its staff and has begun the process of shutting down their operations.
"Almost all of Cyan Worlds, Inc. was laid off today, including me," said URU: Ages Beyond Myst live content analyst Ryan J. Warzecha. "I know with the talent we have here people will find new places to go and do great things. Its sad to see a company with such talented people to basicly expire. I dont blame anyone for it happening. So today we had a company meeting in which [Cyan founder] Rand [Miller] said some kind final words. Then we had a hamburger and goodbye gathering." Ubisoft is still releasing the comapnies last game, Myst V: End of Ages on September 20th with an MSRP of $49.99. Reported by Anthony Swinnich on September 6th, 2005 (4:07pm) [From: Gamespot]
