Workers at Eden Games, the studio making Test Drive Unlimited, took strike action over “mismanagements” by the owner Atari. A symbolic day of strike action was taken in opposition to Atari’s plan to restructure the studio in Lyon, making 51 out of the 80 employees redundant. In a statement sent to Gamasutra (later renamed to Game Developer), Atari explained that they do “not play the game of negotiations with employee representatives on the redundancy plan measures. Employee representatives of Eden until now have been extremely collaborative, respecting the very tight deadlines of the redundancy plan.” The strike was called “to show the employees determination and mobilization.”
