Gamasutra sources indicate that publisher THQ has laid off staff at two of its internal studios: Sandblast Games , currently creating
Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, and Rainbow Studios, currently working on the Wii-exclusive
Deadly Creatures (potentially related sidenote: early last month several Rainbow Studios vets left to form their very own
TimeFly Studios). Both developers will apparently continue work on their existing projects.
THQ has been making changes of late, killing several key franchises like
Juiced and
Stuntman, nabbing some
new execs, and evidently those changes extend to their studios as well. With over a dozen development houses under its belt, if this rumor is true, it may not be the last round of layoffs out of THQ.

I thought the song would fit since you mentioned Nixon and said "why" a whole lot.

Dammit, I was looking forward to Deadly Creatures guess I should give up on the idea of it being good. Screw them and their Nick Toons shovel ware.
