Sad to see more people losing their jobs. It seems like nobody is ever safe in this industry. I wish good luck on anybody who is trying to find more work.
really infuriating! people should start freelancing more since most in-house jobs seem to be extremely volatile for no apparent reasons other than greed.

Isn't freelance continual job hunting? or do 3-5 year freelance contracts exist?

if you are good at providing solid services then the jobs come to you, and clients usually never forget good service so they keep coming back. plus you dont have to relocate every time a studio closes.
Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. (SCEI) (Japanese: 株式会社ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント) is a Japanese multinational video game company specializing in a variety of areas in the video game industry, and is a wholly owned subsidiary and part of the Consumer Products & Services Group of Sony.
bottom line, it is all part of Sony. so if they cared then they would have cared.
Damn sorry to everyone who was affected. Been there many times. GOOD NEWS THOUGH!!!!! Amazon Games Studios is hiring! If you haven't heard we did just buy Double Helix. Amazon is serious about making games. PM me please!
understood, but they are all still part of Sony are they not ?
If one of my family member is in financial trouble I help them out the best I can. in this case, Sony has shit load of money.
so my question is, why are they just hoarding the cash ?

I don't think it's as easy as just 'passing money around'.
Why do you think Sony stopped making TVS and sold it's Vaio brand off?
Each division needs to stand on it's own.
Another job TIP: Privateer Press out of Bellevue, WA. They're looking for a digital sculptor for their tabletop games (3d prints, prototypes, etc.) :thumbup:
