According to a Edge report, Activision has closed Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows developer Shaba Games, leading to the termination of at least 30 jobs. While the closure has yet to be officially confirmed, one industry source suggests that underwhelming performance of Guitar Hero 5 led to the decision.

For being as hyped as it was, Web of Shadows was far from what we’d call a quality product. Still, it’s always tough hearing of people losing their jobs. To those affected, good luck.
