For those interested, the state of Rhode Island is holding a press conference about the matter. http://www.wpri.com/generic/news/politics/local_politics/38-studios-curt-schilling-gaming-company

Timegate is hiring for mostly programmers, but also looking for designers and tech artists of all kinds. http://timegatestudios.catsone.com/careers/ If any of you 38 dudes are in the need, send me a PM and I'll forward your info to the correct people
Schilling as well as the CEO and COO have had their names taken off thecompany website http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/5/17/3027327/38-studios-hands-over-1-125m-payment-to-state-cant-pay-its-employees

giles: The Rhode Island government could have given them the 8 million, which was part of the money with-held from the loan.

Yea. I just heard that as well :( So sorry to hear about this. Hopefully someone picks you guys up really quickly. Update: Polygon has a link http://mobile.theverge.com/gaming/2012/5/24/3041662/38-studios-lays-off-entire-staff
Is there any reason that 38 Studios is getting involved with the state? You hardly hear about anything of the sort with other floundering studios. Edit: And how much is Schilling actually involved with the studio? If he cares and this isn't just a passing fancy, a mill should be coverable by his deep pockets, no?
