kleinluka Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 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. http://gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=24786 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! Quote

robert.briscoe Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 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!

madgernader Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 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... Quote
