    Layoffs at Gree's SF office

    I am reading that 30% of the staff was layed off today. I have not heard of any breakdown of which departments or games were affected, but the community manager was one of the ones terminated. Not good news.

    Doubt it. The CMs are gone, not CS.

    The player mods are now running rampant with no oversight. One of the community manager accounts is actually banned. The rest have not been logged on since the axe fell, so if they weren't canned, I'd guess they were reassigned.

    Anarchy indeed.

    Well, seeing as how Gree hasn't really participated on the KA forum for the past 3-4 months, I'd say the absence of community managers feels like more like status quo.


    But yeah, let's burn this place down and run amok!

    I saw Sirus has been posting in other forums, MW and CC I believe. Should give everyone a hint on how we rate in the Gree master plan that no one has shown up here.

    Clementine, Relic & Tadaaah have all changed their employment status in LinkedIn, so I'm gonna guess they won't be logging in anymore.

    I'm still curious why Bolt was the only one banned, but that's really none of my business. Sorry to see Bolt go.

    I am gona guess he probably told them a few truthful statements that they did not like at the time he got his pink papers, which resulted in the B prize
    the rest probably just got their papers and walked away, thus stil have acces as regular people to the forum
