Bummer. Seriously. I've missed BAB's posts around here. I hope the best for him and whoever else got let go.


Be well, people of CoH.

How many staff did they get down to during the fantastic i7 - i11 period?

Fantastic 15 or something?

The Freem Fifteen

The only reason I could think of for BAB leaving would be that he was being totally serious about not wanting an underwater zone

Still, this seems the more popular thread, so I'll consider it a Reverse Scooped!

The most recent ones were made by Colin Brown - they're the alternative power ones in I19

Ah and its a LOT higher than that right now right? Well it was to be expected really wasnt it, happened just after CoV launched and was bound to happen once GR launched too really wasnt it.

Best of luck to the future for those who got the pass .

Noble Savage noted that the latest batch of alternate animations were done by someone other than BaB (please forgive me for not remembering your name, it's just not as catchy or as easy to shorten as Back Alley Brawler!).

Though that doesn't say anything itself, Alternate Animations seems like a good thing for a 'skills test bed' to see how well someone has progressed.

Doesn't really bode well if true though, having just released an expansion and they're already having layoffs, though this might be the case of 'geared up for the expansion a little too much' and took on too many people, though it would be rare for someone so well established as BaB to be let go who knows all the ins and outs of the engine compared to a recent hire.

A word from a RED name would be nice before this rumor gets too far out of hand.

The Party Pack Booster didn't sell well enough to keep BaBs around.

Been like that forever. It's part of the canon for BAB and is touched on even in the comics.


Be well, people of CoH.
