Really?
Damn that tank on there website was badass.

Rurouni Strife · Mar 2014

Are we sure it was shutdown or were there just layoffs?

JacqueChoi · Mar 2014

Looks like everyone was laid off.

MeshModeler · Mar 2014

got confirmation from my friends there, shut down.

ErichWK · Mar 2014

Crazy. They JUST opened up, too. Psyonix is looking for UI, FX, Programmers. (maybe designer).

Ott · Mar 2014

High Moon has one slot open for a junior level engine programmer.

Sorry to hear about this happening to local talent. We had a lot of guys wind up over there after the Deadpool layoffs, and I know several people from Trion wound up over there as well. The San Diego AAA Game Dev scene is shrinking!

wait... what? Fuck.

SouthpawSid · Mar 2014

We are looking for jr-mid level environment artists here at Obsidian to work on Armored Warfare! My heart hurts for SD county!

Sad to confirm, but the whole studio is looking for work as of yesterday.
As usual, this would be a great place to drop links and referrals to openings for all disciplines.

Thanks for the support Pcount!

Its like: "Hi and welcome to the grand opening of Molten games. Thanks for everyone's support. Goodbye"

Sucks to hear

Eric Chadwick · Mar 2014

Oh god, that really blows! Really sorry to hear this.

I'm seriously looking at getting out of games myself. This past year or so has really been a mess. I thought it was volatile before, but this is nuts.

Best of luck to all affected by this.
