Turbine, are you still hiring?

Because looks like a lot of folks just lost their jobs not far from you.

Sad story.

That's a shame to hear. All those people losing their jobs. I wonder what was the secret MMO they were developing though?

[Tres_Tacos]

There sure are a lot of weird angles to this story, ex pro baseball player, drizzt author, government loans... but yeah sucks for the 400 folks losing their jobs. But seriously, maybe turbine can pick up a few talented people since they keep tweeting about how they are hiring.

Some people from DDO went to 38 Studios some years ago, before F2P. For example Eldorudo, content designer who made many old quests such as Wizking. And plays the voice of Harry in Shroud.

Wiz King is a **** good quest design. We could use more designers like that. Hopefully he didn't burn any bridges when he left.

To quote from an online article: This past Tuesday Turbine held an open job fair for anyone interested in working in their studios. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary regarding this recruiting event except for one small detail – the event was held in Providence, Rhode Island, mere minutes away from the headquarters of 38 Studios.

So I guess they're all over it ;p

Sad to see things like this happen.

For anybody curious about Turbine's hiring, they have 26 positions listed on their jobs page: https://careers.timewarner.com/1033/...gentID=9113504

CEO - said was a success because they sold over 1 million units -

Reality - needed over 3 mil to just break even.

Remember - there are 3 types of lies:
