The independent film studio The Weinstein Company announced its own video game label today, called TWC Games. The new division will work with developers and publishers on mobile, social, and console games based on the movie properties of TWC and Dimension Films. TWC Games is consulting with Beefy Media, a game production and consulting company, to find publishing partners for their games.
Though the announcement today didn't name any games in development, it did mention a few examples of TWC and Dimension properties like Scream, Hellraiser, Scary Movie, and Children of the Corn. This means we might finally see that horror-based Farmville knock-off we've always wanted.
"The video game marketplace is changing at such a rapid rate," said TWC co-chairman Bob Weinstein. "With all of the digital platoforms, there are so many opportunities to broaden our audience with compelling, high quality, cost-efficient, video game entertainment." Because if one phrase gets gamers excited, it's cost-efficient.

bottom line: more game industry jobs = win
too many layoffs lately-
Most of the layoffs that I've seen have been from companies that are doing pump and dumps anyways. You expect one of the largest Hollywood companies known for churning out shit, editing content down just so it can sell it to the PG-13 crowd... you want that kind of upper/middle management?
I know that having a job is better than not having a job. But given game devs can get chewed up / burned out quite quickly, I don't see this being a great long-term employer.
Not to mention there's absolutely no mention that this is going to be a US game-studio. Expect all of the grunt work to be done in India / China / Toronto. Whereas most of the big layoffs have been in the US and the UK --- though please correct me if I'm wrong.
