It has recently been announced that, following the dismal reviews scores for the latest SimCity city-building game from the makers of the Sims, as indicated by the current metacritic score of 66, indicating 'extremely poor to God-awful reviews', that over half of the original staff members at Maxis games are to be systematically culled starting from 2pm tomorrow at lunch time (methods yet to be announced). First on the chopping board is main HUD designer Terrence Ghilty, who upon hearing the recent news claimed 'I accept the judgement passed onto me by the executives at EA Games; in this industry its simply a case of get a metacritic score of 95+ or face certain death, and so I deserve it'. Head of PR at EA Jeremy Punnish recently added 'it's a shame what must befall Terrence and the other members of Maxis, but frankly it's all their fault'. And you know what? He had it coming.
