Grats to former Paragon Studios dev member....

Hosun Lee! ... Who is now Product Marketing Manager for Epic games!

Check out his header.

I would have put this into the "Where are the devs going" threads, but they all keep getting derailed by argumentative trolls. So here we are with a fresh thread instead.

Let's see if we can keep track of the actual devs and former devs better in this thread, please.

In case BP missed it in the other thread, congrats! (even if you had to move cross country for it). You can hang out with the other Tim Sweeney now.

I used to know some of the Epic folks, they're good people. That was in the pre-Unreal days -- before they dropped the MegaGames part. I'm sure the company has changed as its grown, but with any luck they're still just as cool.

Actually the thread was on topic 100% until this post:

You know, after all this time, I still want to stab the NCSoft powers that be in their collective eye.... My anger over this situation has not resided in the least. I can't wait until Blade & Soul is ready to launch: I'm going to continually spam-bomb every article and forum post about it that I can possibly get my hands on so that every potential player knows what NCSoft is really like to deal with.

Oh oops that was you.. post #8 in the DEVS MOVING ON thread.....

Haha, my wife would kill me.

Thanks for the kind thoughts gang. I'm still not sure which of the 5 stages of grief I'm on since the studio shut down, but it's whichever one that hits when you realize that the nearest 7-11 is a stateline away.

I don't mean to nitpick, but I'm technically not a dev, but I am a member of Paragon Studios. Devs are the folks like Matt and Tim who do the real work, I just make them look good on a shoestring budget.

Though many would say that I'm a backseat wanna-be designer at heart....

You're a Dev.

Gratz!
