The Tragedy of Pandemic Studios

SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/SubMonstersReview

Pandemic Studios was a game developer established in 1998 by Josh Resnick and Andrew Goldman.

The studio mysteriously closed their doors in 2009, not long after getting acquired by Electronic Arts (EA). Today, I take a look back at this now-defunct creative powerhouse and what may have lead to its demise.
