Wargaming Seattle Closed?

Take a survey

It appears that Wargaming Seattle (formerly known as Gas Powered Games) has been shut down. This part of Wargaming was founded in 1998 by Chris Taylor (Dungeon Siege) and the team of Cavedog Entertainment. The studio had some hard times in 2013, but then Wargaming acquired it, and the team was working on an unknown project.

Michael Schorr, a former Lead UX Designer for the studio, published the following statement on Twitter: “today Wargaming Seattle was closed. It was a true pleasure working with and learning from my teammates. If I can help out in any way, don’t hesitate to reach out.”

A former Wargaming Seattle developer told Gamasutra that “a surprise “all-hands” meeting was called at the studio this morning, and during that meeting Wargaming chief Victor Kislyi announced the entire studio (estimated to employ roughly 150 people) would be shut down”.
