How many games people lost their jobs?

12% of the entire games industry it seems.

This personally isn't that good especially since it isn't people being cut from studios, we have the entire game studios shutting down. Like 3D realms this week. They brought us Duke Nukem, they didn't bring us Duke Nukem forever. Must be hard 'making' a game and then having the hardware change so you have to do it all again.

Wanda Meloni has worked out these numbers and 12% is 8450 people that lost their jobs due to this recession. I wonder when we'll be getting out of that, it has been quite a while since we got into it, also seems that Swine Flu hasn't been spoken of for a few days.

She also claims these people are working at other studios or making their own which can be good in ways  but then it means theyre filling up all the jobs before we get there :( But good for them getting those jobs back.

I just thought, i hope its those people who make crappy shovelware Wii and DS games that lost their jobs, then again, they probably make enough money to never worry about it again
