Oh fuck NO.
God damn it.
""Approximately 20-30 people from all disciplines, including one person who started yesterday, as well as one who started last week" were axed. " Wow... That is terrible. "Fuck YEAH! Got a new job!" "You're fired!"
Would suck hard to go through all the trouble to get hired only to be fired the next day.
[quote]including one person who started yesterday[/quote] Oh damn, I'd hate to be that guy.
I wonder if it's actually worse to be the guy that's worked there for a week. The one day guy doesn't really experience a loss, he'll just be like "What. The. Fuck. Just happened?!". The one week guy has just started to get accustomed to the people, work environment and some routines and shit. And then BAM!
I hope the game that got cancelled wasn't a new Fallout game :(
This will affect THQ, goddamnit.
[QUOTE=y0haN;35138531]I hope the game that got cancelled wasn't a new Fallout game :([/QUOTE] I would be furious
I'm always sad to hear such news. I hope all of them will find jobs soon. (Disclaimer: I work for a big video game publisher.)
I agree with whatever that moderator said, with all the games they produced - FO:NV being one of them and a few other really good games - how the fuck do you manage to mess up so badly you have to lay off two guys you hired a week and another a day ago.

FUCK! I wonder if South Park will be delayed at all because of this. I'm really looking forward to it. My hats off to those who lost their jobs too.
Southpark is terrible.
:suicide:
