About 150 people laid off.

The first PC Game I bought was X-Wing. I remember playing Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders on the Commodore 64 and Amiga. I still hold out hope that those games, along with Grim Fandango and Full Throttle will some day show up on Steam or GOG.

I wonder if Star Wars 1313 got canceled in the process. Supposedly it's been on hold ever since Disney acquired everything Lucas.
