That sucks if true That's where KFS works, right? Hope you got to keep your job!

[General Vivi 1,604]

lame! I thought they were doing fine. Hope KFS is doing ok.

[Minos 5,429]

That sucks, hope KFS is well

Man, does george broussard do anything nowadays other than posting gossip on twitter?

[Mazy 4,274]

Yeah, hopefully KFS is hanging in there. Sucks that this has become common news, but at least the Lightbox president sounds like a good guy. There are good and bad ways of handling this kind of awful crap, and it sounds like they're doing things right. Hell, not too long ago, OnLive had their entire mess go down, where people didn't get severance pay or notified in a respectful manner. At least Lightbox sounds like it's being run with respect for their employees, even in a shitty situation such as this.

Came here to post this. I hope you aren't affected, KFS, and in case you are, I hope you'll get back on your feet very soon!

Alas, no dice for me in this case. Back on the job market after a fantastic 3 years. Best studio I've ever worked at, seriously.
