Wait....KOTOR II isn't even out yet....but still....bad news at LucasArts:

Star Wars games publisher confirms laying off staff and moving Episode III development off-site. KOTOR 3 development stalled.
Responding to yesterday's reports that it had laid off staff, LucasArts today said in a statement that it was undergoing "a major restructuring of its development studio." A notice on the company's Web site outlined some of the restructuring's details, including layoffs of 31 staffers and the appointment of Peter Hirschmann as vice president of product development. Hirschmann, a two-year LucasArts vet and former Electronic Arts producer, had been managing the development of Star Wars: Battlefront and Mercenaries.

The restructuring is the first major change to be officially announced by LucasArts since Jim Ward took over as its president.

Funny that, KOTOR II is being developed by Obsidian, the first on was developed by Bioware.

Lucasarts was a publisher more than anything. I'm saying that this is just a stupid rumor that people are believing without real reason. When was the last time Lucasarts started laying off people around the globe, in other companies? Never.

Ziff: It's from Gamespot so I'd be inclined to believe the report.

Then again, saying that you're already delaying *3* when 2 hasn't come out... um... riiiiight.

Incidentely, I don't give a crap about what Gamespot says. They're as guilty for rumour mongering as anyone else. Chances are this will be put into their "rumour-control" segment. They've screwed up before, they'll screw up again.

I actually saw this report on a few other places on the net.

I don't know if the problem is as big as the report's making it out to be, but I'm sure they are mixing things up at Lucasarts.
