Yow. The game industry sucks right now. Sierra On-Line laid off approximately 150 people. I think this is a symptom of the tendency of companies, game developers in particular, to hire people with a little too much specialization, which drives development costs way up and ends up being a very short term strategy. I mentioned the demise of Purple Moon a short while ago. Upside has an article that expands on that, including an interview with Brenda Laurel, that's worth reading.
