Maxis Studio is set to close down their doors as hinted by Guillaume Pierre, one of the company’s game designers. In his statement via Twitter, Pierre says that “it’s time to turn off the lights and put the key under the door.”  bading goodbye to 12 years of being one of EA’s development labels behind The Sims, Sim City and Spore.

The shutdown is said to be due to the not-so-good performance of recently released titles, The Sims 4 and the online reboot of Sim City.
