Layoffs at Atari

20% from last count...and hey, from the press releases that I saw, they didn't use the word "realign" even once. How refreshing.

Looks like this is becoming a trend now.

If there wasn't a trend of layoffs in the industry, I wouldn't be so surprised at the Atari announcement. I got burnt by The Temple of Elemental Evil. That was the buggiest game that I have ever played and hit Atari's reputation hard, and rightfully so.
