The Secret World Developer Funcom Restructures
Funcom, developer of the recent MMO The Secret World, is going through a tumultuous time with a massive restructuring.
Games Industry International confirms the moves by Funcom, which includes "cost reductions through the closure and the consolidation of offices with the goal of creating a stronger unified organization that can take full advantage of the exciting opportunities that face the games industry as it steps into 2013 and beyond," according to the company.
Amidst the bad news, Funcom will keep The Secret World, Age of Conan, and Anarchy Online up and running. In fact, according to some stock notices from the company, The Secret World has seen a massive upswing in activity since it dropped its subscription fee, and sales of the game are up 30 percent.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
