Très très interessant effectivement (et triste)

C'est comme toute histoire d'un studio ATVI, tu sais que ça se termine jamais bien.

C'est triste, mais cela n'a pas terminé VV. Ils sont maintenant partie de Blizzard, pas d'Activision - c'est toujours en avant, jamais en arrière, même avec une tragédie.

True, and I sure wish everyone to work on projects they can fully enjoy ! I guess my soft spot for some Activision studios that created great episodes of beloved series may tend to make me react with some kind of emotion, may it be short-sighted :D

Semisonic - Closing Time. "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." In the industry, everything bad leads to good. If Looking Glass hadn't shuttered, maybe @Dezinuh wouldn't have wound up at Bethesda. Maybe Mike wouldn't have ended up at VV.

Maybe Caminos and @TimStellmach wouldn't have ended up at VV. Maybe @TerriBrosius1 and @ebrosius and many other LG folks wouldn't have wound up at HMX. Maybe the whole "war" between Guitar Hero and Rock Band, which is what GH would have been without ATVI, wouldn't have happened.

But if that had never happened, then I'd never have gone to work for ATVI. I'd never have been laid off. I'd never have taught myself to mod Minecraft. I'd never have ended up making the move to Sweden, and been happy for the past few years. Life is weird like that.

I feel you ! Back in the days, I also was involved in the franchise, as an editor and community admin for the French website of the brand. It was unpaid, because young and glad to be paid in games by ATVI themselves.
