Fury Developer Auran Rumored to be Hitting Bottom; Possibly Exaggerated?

Posted December 7th, 2007 by Aelryn

Doom! DOOM! Okay, maybe not.

As reported by Kotaku, the Angry Gamer website began spreading rumors the other day that Fury developer Auran was expecting massive lay-offs and possibly shutting the game down in the US and Europe (but not China). However, Tony Hillman, CEO of Auran, published a statement which claimed that such rumors were "greatly exaggerated" and that the removal of the QA staff members was intended to create a smaller, more agile team.

So the rumour mill got a number of things right or close to it, and I am happy to be able to add a little more detail. As they say in the classics, the death of Auran and FURY has been greatly exaggerated.

Read the whole saga at Kotaku. So what do you think about all of it? Tell us!
