The UK industry is taking such a hit lately... I hope the Black Rock guys who started up Roundcube Entertainment are successful.

Good luck to all, this is always bad news, maybe some new start ups with more job opportunities become of these shut downs, unlikely but trying to remain positive.
Best of luck!

Best of luck to them.
Might want to try Playground, I think they're looking for folk and probably people with racing game experience.

There are a bunch of programmer posts open at Rockstar North (I'd not want to work anywhere else).
There are a few environment art posts, and I've just asked for another character rigger/pipeline artist.
