Well, there goes that.

The truth kind of hurts, but this decision was likely due to the fact that Turok failed to meet expectations either in sales, and apologies, artistically as well. In the end, its a business, and when your profits don't exceed your investment, people lose their jobs regardless of how well the economy is going.

I respectfully disagree. I think your interpretation of the data is skewed and that the economy is very much to blame. Gaming is not performing that well as a whole, rather the larger companies are reporting profits (mainly Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony reported a 95% loss of profits in 4'th quarter which they partially have blamed on poor PS3 game sales). Everybody has to explain to their investors what they're doing to protect their investments, and I think smaller studios are going to see more and more cuts.
