"Job outlook bright for 38 Studios staff" by Michael B. Farrell | Globe Staff, May 28, 2012
Nicholas Kole just lost his job. Luckily, he is in the video game industry.
Dozens of game companies are lining up to hire castoffs like Kole from 38 Studios LLC, Curt Schilling’s failing video game maker....
Even as 38 Studios laid off its entire staff of nearly 400 people
last week, rival video game makers were holding job fairs just blocks
from the company’s offices in Providence. Other game companies reached
out to 38 Studios staffers on social networks like Twitter and Facebook,
inviting them to apply for jobs. In fact, Kole, a 24-year-old character
artist, said he already has some promising leads.
Unlike
employees from other industries who have endured difficult layoffs and
downsizing, 38 Studios staffers are expected to quickly land elsewhere
in the highly competitive video game business....

That's capitalism, Curt. You bet on the wrong game.
Oh, btw, the Sox won tonight.
