    Well he doesn't have his shiny gold "Uber employee" insignia.

    Edit: Nevermind, apparently I'm a dirty liar. :p

    It does not really matter.
    sh*t had to be done, and those who have fallen will be remembered forever!

    These are really bad news. Also bad news for the future of Uber Entertainment. I hope they don't break apart.

    Very sad indeed, but to be expected after the Human Ressources debacle. I never expected to lose garat and metabolical however...

    You didn't hear? Sorian just got hired by Blizzard to work on Starcraft II AI.

    (edit - joking about that too. Can you read this?)

    Guys... please no jokes about it. Please.

    Edit: These are good people. And they have lost their jobs.

    Garat is out? Brad is out?

    Why bother supporting the game now? More then half of the good parts of the Uber team are gone...

    Wed say that about anyone who was taken out, heh. Uber is a 30+ team. I'm sure there are other employees that are quite active work wise but just lurk here. Forrest for instance was a very great dev.

    I got laid off once with no idea what to do next. It's an unfortunate but necessary part of working. For me, it was the best thing that ever happened to me career-wise. It's not a funeral, it's just a change in plans.

    That may be true. But the only one who should make jokes about a layoff, is the one who has been laid off. Not the other people. Just my opinion.

    Correct plus they are well known respected members of the game dev industry so I'm sure they'll get sorted somewhere quickly.

    Good luck chaps!

    @jables Can we get clarification on who is and who is not still with Uber? To prevent rumors and all?

    I completely understand if you don't
