PopCap Closes Down Dublin Office
PopCap Games have announced that their Dublin office has been closed down.
The closure of the office has caused 96 employees losing their jobs.
“PopCap has provided outplacement support and many employees have offers in other parts of PopCap, at EA or new opportunities with technology partners in Ireland,” the company said in a statement sent to Game Informer.
“Europe remains a critical market for PopCap and we will continue to grow our presence through centralized services operated from our North American offices and through the extensive European EA network. Worldwide, PopCap is still growing, and intends to continue hiring and developing current staff.
“We will continue to invest in new games, platforms, and markets while we expand the reach of hit franchises like Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies.”
Besides the layoffs at the Dublin office, 50 employees were fired over at PopCap’s North American offices in Seattle, Wash.

Consoles Will Die Out, Says God of War Creator
According to the God of War creator, David Jaffe, the next xbox, PS4 and Wii U, will mark the end of the consoles. And that’s exactly how it should be, according to Jaffe.
“Look, consoles are going away. I think in 10 years–probably sooner. But 10 years is always the safe thing to say so you don’t sound like an idiot. But here’s what I’ll say: I’ll go on the record and say that the next generation of hardware will be the last consoles. And they should be.”
So what will happen to games such as God of War and other games that are console exclusive? Well, Jaffe states that television will take a much bigger role this time around, not just as a medium to use when playing the games, but actually using the TV to download games.
“It doesn’t mean you won’t buy a piece of hardware from Sony, but you’ll probably buy a television that streams the stuff,” he said. “And you’ll still have Sony, loud and proud and strong making these great, big, epic games like God of War and Uncharted, and they’ll be making great little games like Sound Shapes, but they’ll become more like movie studios for video games. I’ll be able to stream in the next Uncharted and Plants vs. Zombies, and you won’t even think about it.”
What are your thoughts on this matter? Is he completely crazy or does he have a point?
