Firefall Team Hires 38 Studios/Bioware Refugees
A happy ending
It's nice to hear a happy ending after the unfortunate closure of 38 Studios and downsizing of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Team. In this case, as noted by PC Gamer, the ambitious Firefall team at Red 5 has hired a large portion of them, over forty, almost doubling their former's teams numbers. Very few of the new hires were not from either studios.
The announcement was made at Gamescom, from lead class designer Dave Williams. He described their normal approach as constituting a small but 'nimble' team, but agreed that they needed to produce a large amount of content to keep up with MMO players' demands. "We've found some incredibly talented people who are really happy. It's allowed us to build up the team quickly."
