"The closing of All Points Bulletin’s servers so soon after launch was a sad day for all, but developer Hi-Rez Studios has come through with a silver lining of sorts: a 30% discount on their MMO, Global Agenda."
APB seemed doomed from the start. Plagued by a nimber of problems. It should not be a big surpise that it's servers are closing. Read the article for details.
During a report which was given out this morning it confirmed that Realtime Worlds has made several staff redundancies.
The developer which confirmed this also admitted that he was expecting some redundancies within the developing studio.
"RealTime Worlds' massively multiplayer cops and robbers game, APB (All Points Bullentin) has been in development for about five years now and was originally scheduled to be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as the PC.

We had a quick question for a representative from Realtime Worlds who, when asked about the 360 version of the game, shrugged his shoulders and would only clarify the PC release in Spring 2010."
"The videogame developers’ plans for growth are set for it to continue to considerably more than 300 employees by early 2010 when it will have launched its next title, formally revealed as set to be published by Electronic Arts at this year’s Electronic Entertianment Expo (E3) earlier this month, APB."
"Duthie adds “Many companies have laid off large numbers of talented staff in recent months and we see GDC as a great chance to tap into that talent pool. With the economy the way it is, many people don't want to think about committing to a permanent move, so what we're offering is a number of contract positions for folk to come to Scotland, help us to a successful launch of APB, and then reassess their options when the economy is hopefully in better shape. We can take care of work permits pro..."
