This is really sad.

700£?

What price for 1 badroom apartments in UK?

My 1 bedroom flat in Birmingham cost me £650 a month just for the rent, before bills or anything.

Yeah that might just about cover your rent and bills if you live outside the city. I dunno what you'll do for food though!

Haha I pay more than double that in London. It's ridiculous!

I pay £380 a month mortgage for a 3 bed semi detached house in the midlands countryside...

Yeah I'm originally from the West Midlands and the house prices up there are ridiculously cheap. Depends what kinda lifestyle you wanna live I guess. If you want to have a million things to do but not have any money to do them with, then move to London. And vice versa

City centre is always more expensive, I pay £650/month in Nottingham (city Crytek UK is in) and Crytek UK itself is based in a building that's all apartments above the first floor and a similar-sized flat to mine goes in there for £875/month.

Pretty sad if true, hope the Core guys (and others...) are fine

Yeah I've been hearing some pretty dire things! Anyone here being affected by this at all?

Hope you guys pull through. This news is pretty sad

If true, the title of this thread is more fitting than ever. Deep Silver = Koch Media. They picked up a bunch of THQ assets (Volition and the rights to Saints Row and Metro). I really hope that Crytek will make it and not have to let go of too much/too many. I can see why employees are angry and want to bring this situation into the open, but the leaks are ultimately hurting themselves by weakening Crytek's position in negotiations.

I won't comment on the news reports or confirm whether they are true or not, but what Frie just said about leaks in general is spot on, here in the UK we are all trying to comprehend what anyone has to gain by spreading such information, whilst knowing the damage it can cause.

Thanks for the concern guys.

UK citizens don't have to be afraid of layoff. There is some super job to take.

Fucking hell, I've read some of Sousa's papers - that guy is shit hot.
