First why was the Emeryville CA development shut down and why do it now when the game has just launched?

The contractor team at Emeryville was responsible for completing work on our first release of the America 's Army 3 game. That work was completed on 16 June and our game launched on 17 June. With that milestone complete, we are consolidating our development efforts at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. In 2005, we established the America's Army program office at Redstone Arsenal to oversee development of both the public game and government applications of America's Army 3. Since that time, we have grown the team at Redstone to manage our contractor t eam in Emeryville and expand use of the Game within the government. By consolidating operations at Redstone we expect to gain additional efficiencies between our public and government applications. We appreciate all the hard work that every member of the America 's Army team has contributed to the project, and we look forward to delivering future America 's Army game releases in the months ahead.

About how many of the game's development team were let go as a result of the shutdown of the Emeryville offices?

The members of the team at Emeryville were employees of a government contractor, and that contractor's portion of the America's Army 3 game was completed on 16 June. We have asked the contractor to locate some members of this team with our ongoing game de velopment effort at Redstone Arsenal. We expect about a quarter of the team will relocate to Redstone Arsenal.
