Damn man, best of luck to you. I bet you guys poured into TSW too.
post, post, post!
There's some awesome guys in Funcom, I'm sure you'll manage - after all, some of you survived Oslo
I'm officially joining Nizza_Waarg, and Gueden at Gameloft here in Mtl.
^_^
It will be lovely to have you around.
http://www.funcom.com/jobs has a list of their studios
Wow! Glad you were able to move into something right away. Good luck at Gameloft!
welcome to Gameloft :P
;/ I actually accepted an offer from Gameloft 3 weeks ago.
Just unfortunate I had to give my 2 weeks notice amidst a huge round of layoffs.
So I currently know of 2 pretty stellar Senior Environment Artists, 2 Junior FX artists, and a Junior Environment guy that were let go.
All looking to stay in Montreal.
So if anyone knows of any studios locally that have any need for some pretty talented and devoted guys, let me know.
Or better yet, get your HR contact Funcom HR - Kim Pasquin:

She's arranging a job fair for those affected by the layoffs.
Same happened to me. Awesome (new job!) and sad at the same time. Sucks when you're the only happy one. Although I missed out on some severance money. Then again having a job beats having a little bit extra cash.
That's at least something. Hope there's something there for everyone affected.
