Topic: Poor Raven Software...hit with more lay-offs

[MysterD]

Shacknews -> More layoffs hit Raven - another 20-40 laid off.
Rumors are they are working on Map Packs for COD: Black Ops.

If y'all recall - last Shacknews reported in August 2009, they lost over 50 employees (out of an approx. 180).

This sucks, man. I remember the days when Raven was in its glory, man.
You could always count on Raven do deliver something that was AT LEAST solid and good.

Bleh.

[Quemaqua]

It does suck.  I really loved a lot of the old Raven games... I know nothing about them as a company these days, though.  They definitely lost steam at some point.

Wheres keebs with the Jesus facepalm when you need him.

[beo]

this will have to make do...

[iPPi]

omg D....

Anyway, their old games use to be pretty good.  It's too bad they haven't done anything high profile lately.

[MysterD]

That wasn't me that posted all that junk about what games Raven has recently released.... 

[Xessive]

Haha D is the only person I know who actually has a theatrical Doppelganger problem

Nobody can be the real MyD - thank God.
One of me is one too many for this world.

EDIT:
And for those worried about Raven and what they've done lately for game-making, that's what Wikipedia is for.

[Pugnate]

No no...

I think D got it right. Raven's catalog is still on Steam.

[Ghandi]

Yeah Que was mistaken, they haven't lost Steam yet. If you want I can back up this statement by posting every fucking game they have on Steam.

I'll do y'all one better.
Every Raven Software game on Steam.

[Cobra951]

Hahaha!  OK, so who gets facepalmed, really?

[Pugnate]

I'll do y'all one better.

I have a headache.

[Xessive]

I think we've actually created a self-propelling paradox.

You are wrong Que.
