Developer Factor 5 is facing tough choices due to our bad economy, according to a blog post from Sam Baker, an animator for the company. Baker explains that after a two-week foray to work with California-based animation studio The Orphanage, he came back to Factor 5 and found that none of his fellow employees had been paid in the past month. His team continued on their current project, but then had their health care benefits taken as a cost-saving measure.

Next, the company told employees that they had to shutter the current project due to insufficient funds. "We figured it wasn't a problem, however, because there were still other projects that needed us," he said. But most recently, Baker claims that Factor 5 president Julian Eggebrecht told the employees that they need funding in a week, or employees may need to start looking for other jobs. This is all the word of one blogger, so without official comment from the company we'll file it as a rumor for now. We can hope that the situation isn't as dire as it sounds, but if it is Factor 5 may need to start letting go of employees within the next week.

Baker doesn't mention any of the projects the company had in the pipeline, but we know that the company was working on a Wii title, rumored to be a new entry in the Rogue Squadron series, or a revival of the SNES classic Pilotwings. Factor 5's last big game was Lair, which was received harshly by critics due to imprecise motion controls. The company has been known for pushing hardware, so fans hoped the next game would showcase their skills. Unfortunately, due to the bad economy, they may never get the chance. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.

根据员工Sam Baker的博客，参加完在加州的联合项目工作之后，他回到工作室，发现Factor 5正在遭遇严重的财政危机，上个月的工资大家都没有拿到，因为资金不足导致现在正在开发的项目被迫取消，老板也让大家尽快开始寻找新东家，不过Baker并没有提到是什么项目被取消了
Factor 5的上一个游戏是广受玩家好评的Lair

广受玩家好评的Lair

我湿了。。。

应该是广受天师好评的游戏----Lair

wyp：没想到龙穴能做到这个份上！！据说完成版还会再小加强一下，真不敢想像那会是什么样的冲击呀！！

看到龙穴这名字就觉得很亲切

不开发游戏那做什么？外包？

主帖翻译的有问题。

Baker回公司后发现同事上个月工资都没有拿到。Baker团队继续开发他们负责的项目，不过公司为节省经费砍掉了health care benefits。随后公司停止了Baker团队的开发项目，原因是经费不足，不过公司内还有其他项目要用人。但是最近公司总裁表示公司需要在一个星期内获得资金，否则员工们就要另找工作。目前来说以上还都是传言，没有得到官方证实。

话说这东西不是还打算在WII上出游戏的么?WII游戏被砍?:D

Factor 5的上一个游戏是广受玩家好评的Lair

之前的消息貌似是说Factor 5正在开发Wii游戏？

又写轮眼穿越了？这次经济危机连EA这样的大厂都裁员了，何况Factor5这种小厂？Factor5也只不过是做了一个ps3游戏，而且已经是去年的事了，早就不做ps3游戏了，Factor5遭遇经济危机后出现的问题关sony啥事？天剑的开发费用是sony出的，就算天剑亏本了，也是亏sony的钱，天剑小组会因此遭遇什么困境？就算遭遇困境又和sony有什么关系？
八天和神秘海域都是sony第一方小组的作品，并不是独立的厂商开发的，而且这些小组都好好的在开发其他游戏，阁下从何得知“每个跟着SONY的厂商都没什么好日子过”？
现在跨平台本来就是潮流，如果抵抗的厂商跨平台了就等于是没什么好日子过，岂不是说其他多数厂商都没好日子过？halo小组不是也独立了吗，是不是可以用说halo小组跟着微软也没好日子过？RARE做的什么宝贝万岁什么班卓熊3销量都是一塌糊涂，日商里面最支持微软的tecmo最后落得被并购的下场，是不是可以说跟着微软的厂商都没好日子过？
