Another nail in the coffin for LucasArts

It's official 31 people sacked and "the company will be concentrating on fewer titles", according to a recent press release from LucasArts. The conformation comes as no surprise, considering the latest rumours.

Jim Ward farted the following excuse "to make LucasArts thrive and to position ourselves for the long-term future, we need to make some fundamental changes". So in other words LucasArts has to become essentially just a publisher for Star Wars games. Theyve reached a new low.

All things considered a new Monkey Island game doesnt look that likely in the foreseeable future. But dont cry! Theres still plenty of good games to look forward to... just not from LEC.

Pssst, this man what I know told me that perhaps he had sourced some new lec hate poetry and he wondered if anybody wanted to read it, and quite possibly it would be good enough for a time when there wasn't much news.

If it's Monkey Island related, we're in. Otherwise send it to WWHS. ;

Well it's not MI related so to wwhs it goes, but I've been inspired by a touch of er... digestive system problems so I'm sure that I could squeeze out some MI related ones ;D

Suggestion: next poll could be...how many time will it take LEC to dissapear??

They're so out of touch...i checked their last polls...one of them was WHAT SCREEN RESOLUTION ARE YOU USING!!
That's how to treat fans!! there they go...(bye bye dear Lucas)
