Damn, I thought things were getting better in Vancouver. I mean I just landed my first contract in almost 2 years of Unemployment here. (Granted it's on VFX side of things)
I had plenty of friends on the project - though I'm not surprised that the project went the way it did, I'm surprised that it's happening now...That's A LOT of work to just throw away.
Vanouver's a weird beast and the scene there right now, in my opinion, is kind of depressing.
DKK. Word. Except im already balls deep in it. Don't know what else I'd do though so I'm stuck.
All you can do is hope to end up at a high profile studio with a proven track record of guaranteed million dollar sales on launch day. Only then can you feel a bit secure... but not really since some can fire you anyway to "get extra cash".
I've become a jaded/disillusioned "vet" it seems.
To those 100 people and other 40 people from raven. *does a salute*.
I know how it feels. Good luck gentlemen and don't worry. If you don't give up there will be another job around the corner.

My only hope is that EA's coming slaughter is more like a shaving rather than a cleansing in Nov.
