Early this morning we broke the news that Electronic Arts planned to close down Pandemic Studios, laying off 200. Now we have confirmation.
An internal Electronic Arts memo confirms that Pandemic Studios was shut down today with a "core IP team" being moved to Electronic Arts' Los Angeles office. Among those let go were the studio's top three employees: Andrew Goldman, formerly the studio's CEO; Josh Resnick, formerly the studios president; and Greg Borrud, vice president of product development

@ Ivp---------I have some emails that reinforce that assessment;
"Bah. Pandemic, run by assholes making their teams turn out crap. Good
riddance.
and
"What's crazy is that EA just bought Pandemic as Bioware as a group package just 2 years ago for a ridiculous 800 million, and has already shut down Pandemic".for 2 examples

Bioware has a better chance at staying alive with their LucasArts IP deals. Unless EA absorbs and but keeps the teams.
