Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39577521][B]Moby Francke, the art lead of TF2, is gone[/B] Bay Raitt (lead of SFM) is gone too[/QUOTE] He probably came back from the bathroom and was like "you added [i][b]what[/b][/i] to TF2?"

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;39577562]what is happening[/QUOTE] Brütal Legend promos, Valve suddenly fires people.

I bet they're sending me a job offer soon. [sp]Rainbowsrainbowsrainbows[/sp]

This better be to make some room so they can hire Ned T.T

snip. jesus people can't take a joke

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;39577613][url]http://www.diffchecker.com/h14Uhs74[/url][/QUOTE] thanks

[QUOTE=3221drdew;39577636]tf2 art lead is gone lol the art style was dead already ever since they added hats and stuff and stupid shit like the machina.[/QUOTE] The art style evolved, that's all.

From what I know about evolution, you usually press the B button to stop it.

guys, are we witnessing the end?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39577700]guys, are we witnessing the end?[/QUOTE] this is the end hold your breath and count to ten

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39577664]The art style evolved, that's all.[/QUOTE] Sort of like Nosepass in to Probopass, right?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39577700]guys, are we witnessing the end?[/QUOTE] the mayans were working on valve time

Rip in piece Team Fortress 2

[QUOTE=Archimedes;39577723]this is the end hold your breath and count to ten[/QUOTE] Gonna stop this before it starts

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39577700]guys, are we witnessing the end?[/QUOTE] In all seriousness I doubt its the end of Valve/TF2, if anything its probably just the end of the development cycle of the VR Headwear Valve was making and the end of the (active) development of the steam box.

If this is it, and I hope is not, we all knew from the very beginning no game lasts forever.

MIXED EMOTIONS

[QUOTE=Spot of Tea;39577770]Feel the Earth move and then[/QUOTE] Sorry I did all I could

Lead TF2 artist gone? Well, that sucks. So many people leaving Valve...man, why so many layoffs This calls for some suspenseful thread music: [video=youtube;hShUOWA3Z_g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hShUOWA3Z_g[/video]

Just 5 hours ago i was looking around Moby Francke's site.. Early sign?

[QUOTE=WhyNott;39577759]Gonna stop this before it starts[/QUOTE] I don't think you really know what I'm playing at, considering we're a thousand miles and poles apart.

Though, in all honesty, I doubt no-one can take his place as the lead artist.

I think the saddest thing is that eventually this subforum will be gone, and all we'll have left is TF2 General Chat in the Valve games subforum

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39577776]the lead artist for TF2 is gone along with the guy that made all the pretty TF2 videos we've loved for the last 2 years D:[/QUOTE] The lead artist probably wasn't working on much at the moment, or maybe something else was going on. On the subject of Bay Raitt, I dont think laying off the guy who worked on SFM for awhile means that SFM and TF2 wont be having any updates anymore, as they still have the base SFM team there.
