Funcom cuts US staff, Age of Conan in danger?

Conan is not happy

Funcom, whose recently released MMORPG Age of Conan has struggled after bursting out of the gate with 700k in sales, has confirmed staffing cuts in the US. While no official numbers have been given, the rumor is that up to 70% of the US jobs have been axed.

While there have been no official announcements on Age of Conan's future, they have already been forced to merge servers, and last month producer and game director Gaute Godager left the company.

Coming on the heels of NCSoft's announcement that they are closing the doors on Tabula Rasa, their science-fiction themed MMORPG, this doesn't spell good news for the MMO industry. Will Age of Conan follow Tabula Rasa into the MMO graveyard? It wouldn't be a great surprise to hear of its untimely death sometime next year.
