When last we heard about Project Gotham Racing and Blur developer Bizarre Creations, Activision was looking for a buyer for the studio, and if none was found, the final axe would fall. Today, it has all but certainly fallen. It looks like, barring a miracle, Bizarre Creations will be no more.
According to an article on Develop, Bizarre's parent company, Activision, has not found a buyer for the studio, and has recommended its closure. Bizarre will apparently accept the recommendation and close its doors for good. So pour a little off the top for a dead game developer.
“I want to be clear, our first choice was to try and keep this group together and find a buyer for the studio," said Coddy Johnson, Activision Worldwide Studios’ chief operating officer, “This decision comes after a few months of exhausted examination of a number of different options across the board.”
"Unfortunately, so far we’ve not been able to find any interested parties. So we’ve made as a last resort, a recommendation to the team for closure,” Johnson said.
As of a few months ago, there were 200 people employed at Bizarre.

PGR is one of the best racing series out there! someone needs to step up, they don't deserve this.BLUR was extremley successfull, closing them doesn't do anyone any good, not ACTIVISION, not the industry, all it is is a big f' you to the consumer!

The gaming industry is like the face of a hot girl with a black eye.
Activision is that black eye.

Come on people, what's it going to take before you learn? We need to destroy Activision and soon. All they do is close studios and cancel original games. They rehash utter CRAP and have not made a single good game in years. GH was cool, then they overdid it. Nothing else is worth the media it's distributed on. I despise the CoD franchise yet think IW was treated poorly.
I want Act to close and the studios to find better publishers. Kotick to fall down some stairs. Anything. Like the EA of old it's one mistake after another. More sequels to shoddy games and no innovation. When they have a chance at finding a good game they cancel it. Truly disgusting.

Now just makes me sad. I hate to see people in the industry I love so much lose their jobs.

They were also probably not happy with the lack of games coming out every year without all of the crap DLC for $15

They probably exceeded their sales quota and were due for their promised bonuses, so Activision being Acitivision just killed them off like all the other franchises they've gotten their hands on.
