The video game industry in Vancouver continues to grow, but new reports say many studios in the region are experiencing the impact of the economic slowdown. Backbone Entertainment ( Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix ) was reduced to "only a satellite operation" back in September 2008 after parent Foundation 9 cut most of the staff, according to regional online news site Straight. Penny Arcade Adventures developer Hothead Games also reportedly struggled to find a publisher for its "environmentally-themed comedy adventure game" Swarm, and was forced to lay off workers in December. Backbone and Hothead join other Vancouver companies who've faced difficulties; Electronic Arts recently canceled its plans to build a new Vancouver studio and instead relocated its Black Box team to Burnaby, and more recently, MMO publisher Nexon closed Humanature Studios, its development headquarters in the region.
