My girlfriend has been locked up in a restaurant near the zone. She's ok at a friend place now. I'm at home watching news. People are giving news on Facebook. I hope there's no one i know there. Bit shaky
This is what bound to happen at a moment or another. I don't wanna bring political matter into Polycount but the tension rising from all this massive incoming of refugee would've had to explode at one point or another...
I'm sensing this might happen in other places in Europe. Stay safe people.
My bet those guys were french, born and rise in the Republic. They are mindfucked little twats who find some confort in joining a sect. This has to do with Syria and ISIS, but not with refugees. Anyway, frontieers are now closed.
The worst is still to come, people are already kinda fucked-up in their mind about foreigner, few month ago after Charlie Hebdo's killing people started to attack random "foreign-looking" people in the street and burn Mosque... can 't imagine what'll happen now here
Stayed home and to my knowledge all my friends are fine, I was worried because many like The eagles of death metal and we regularly go to the bataclan for shows together. The neighboorhood they targeted is where many parisians like to go out for a drink or music, these guys knew where to hit after their somewhat failed attempt at the football stadium, brainwashed fuckers...
blond seriously? what does the refugees have to do with anything? what you posted is extremely uniformed, you should read up on these matters before you spread misinformation.
sad day for the people of paris, and beirut aswell, supposedly both victims of ISIS. the goal of the terrorists is to spread fear, lets not let them succeed.
The Moderators would like to remind you all that many of us here know people in Paris, whether it be loved ones, fellow polycounters, or colleagues from another office. Can we please stay focused on them and finding out if they're safe?
Polycount has never been a place to discuss conspiracy theories, especially when it can add to the pain of those survivors and loved ones of the victims. Stay focused on our loved ones and/or game art. Please and thank you.
I hope the Ubisoft guys and other artists are okay, I'm a little worried since I know there's quite a few polycounters from France. Anyone hear from anyone?

There's no direct correlation but there's still some links between these events, you can't deny that. And no, I'm well informed thank you.
I just want to reiterate what this thread is about, checking on the status and safety of Polycounters, their friends, family, and fellow game developers, in France.
Conspiracy theories, petty political bickering or calls for violence are extremely disrespectful and will get this thread closed. There is an unlimited amount of websites on the internet to have these conversations or vent your frustrations, Polycount isn't one of them.
I live and work in Paris, so far no one I know seems to have been "directly" touched, hopefully that won't change tomorrow when I go to work... This kind of thing is super-shitty when it happens anywhere in the world, when it's where you live, and for the third time (and each time worse than the previous one), it really starts to get to you...
And I'll stop my post here before I start ranting against certain people and disrespect the sensible request of the mods (thanks guys!)

This is so sad and so pointless.

Also a very sad moment for France
