With all these closures and layoffs a lot of industry veterans will start forming new companies. I hope when they do that they will be privately held and won't be sold to publicly held publishers. The last 24 months (really the last 35 years since EA starting killing studios in the late 80's) should put to rest the argument that it's a good idea. It's suicide by shareholder.
