When Cyan Worlds developers said that Myst V would be the last game in the series no one believed them, everybody thought that was a joke.
Now the news is official.
According to a post in their
web log, most of the developers laid off their jobs after 13 years of hard work and success. Their final release has recently gone gold and should be available in stores by the end of the month.
Here is the final speech, that they have recently posted:
"Time of your life
Almost all of Cyan Worlds, Inc. was laid
off today, including me. I know with the talent we have here people will find new places to go and do great things. It's sad to see a company with such talented people to basically expire. I don't blame anyone for it happening. So today we had a company meeting in which Rand said some kind final words. Then we had a hamburger and goodbye gathering. Over the last few weeks leading to this point many of us had the hope that something would come up, but it didn't happen. I will try to stay in Spokane as long as I can. I got some really good things going for me right now here and I hate to see that just dust in the wind.
So, as Green Days Time of Your life is playing on the company intercom system.
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life."
I did... (Raises glass) Here is to the future.
Peace."
