GRIN shut down

kleinluka · August 11, 2009 at 3:19 PM

Most of you already know about this from the Job census thread but after closing their offices in Barcelona and Gothenborg, GRIN now has also closed their HQ in Stockholm.

Many Mapcorians are affected. But as a community this is where everyone can help.

I hope everyone affected knows that they have our full support here at Mapcore to help hook people up with new jobs. I already offered my help in the job census thread but I'll do it again here. If you are interested in working for in Montreal send me a PM with your resume/portfolio!

Don't lose hope!

Doh, very sad. Wasn't that long ago that GRIN seemed like a fairly unstoppable studio, too.

Wish you all the best of luck in finding new employment!

Good luck guys!

Also remember that crytek is still hiring.

Grinwhrl · August 11, 2009 at 4:00 PM

Sad news, I hope you guys find new work. Ubi Montreal is always hiring too!

Im still really shocked by this, although I saw Grin was in hard times I never thought things were gonna get this bad. I know there are positions available over at Funcom. If Anyone is interested just contact me and i'll put you in touch with them directly.

Good luck guys! Wish I was still in the 'holm so I could buy u a beer or two!

Oh my god

madgernader · August 11, 2009 at 8:17 PM

Man that sucks... I just recently bought Wanted and Bionic Commando and am really enjoying both, its too bad that the media ripped into them, surely dropping sale amounts...

wacko · August 11, 2009 at 9:42 PM

This is indeed sad I to liked Bionic Commando, but in the klein spirit if anyone is interesting in working at Blizzard, send the resumes/ports to [email protected] and I shall make sure they get to the right folk

jaboo224 · August 11, 2009 at 11:45 PM
