Firefall design team “doubled,” dozens of former Bioware and 38 Studios devs hired

PC Gamer writes: "Red 5 are “having to crunch harder than we ever have” to put together Firefall’s massive upcoming summer update after they spent a month recruiting top talent laid off during the closure of 38 Studios and the donwsizing at Bioware Austin. The recruitment drive has significantly grown the size of the studio and doubled the size of the design team working on Firefall."

Nice to see some of the people from 38 Studios getting hired after bad business decisions killed their company.

The Tax payers got screwed (they paid for the business loan of 38 studios)

The Employees got screwed! (got fired with no unemployment benefits and lost Health care insurance not too mention they work for free at one point)

But the millionaire Curt Schilling and the Banks never lost a dime on this bad business deal!

Banks and Millionaires screw over the little guys in this country way too often!

no need to make stuff up. Banks did lose money. That is why they are suing. http://articles.boston.com/...

everybody is a loser. Rhode Island being the biggest.

This is sad news, because I always felt there was great potential with this game but it never got to where it could be.

Plus this was the only game to ever use the Project Offset engine too. Project Offset never came out so getting to see what it could do was the closest we ever got because of this game.

We're rounding up some games like Firefall, a great concept that simply was not executed as well as we hoped. Maybe these other worlds will hit the spot!

I use to love MMO's but now i can't stand them. I hope they can change the grinding and make a more engaging gameplay style.
