But check Puzzle & Dragons too ("daily revenue rate of $4.9 million"). If I had a company that generated this crazy amount of gold per day, I wouldn't have a company anymore. Work for a day/ week, cancel the game the day next (?), share some millions with the team and then go nuts around the world travelling and #yolo'ing. Quote

FrieChamp Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 I'm reading the words "consolidation" and "concentration" in that press release. Sounds to me like other offices will be closed/moved to Montreal in the process. Izuno, blackdog and mjens 3 Quote
Hipshot Posted October 1, 2013 Report Posted October 1, 2013 It's not long before EA and Ubi stops making AAA-tiles and starts doing Candy Crush-ish. We'll probably all end up in that swamp. Quote
