The end of the Game and IT HUb - lucasfilm mass layoff
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/lucasfilm-lays ... 31442.html
In a statement, Lucasfilm, which was acquired by Disney last year, said that after evaluating its position in the games market, it decided to shift LucasArts “from an internal development to a licensing modelâ€Â

Looks like CBP Signature building floors 5 and 6 will become deserted... as well as the other floors from where Credit Suisse is already gradually moving out. Well, at least I enjoyed looking at those guys from the 5th floor (LucasArts) - sometimes you cannot tell a LucasArts employee from Chewabacca...
Unless LucasFilm and LucasArts are unrelated entities.

Life is short, paddle harder!!
Thats sad man. No wonder the lifts in Signature building are so empty nowadays. There was hot ang moh chick working in lucas and drove a BMW. There were all kinds of characters there. One huge Ang moh bald head and a big beard, scary fellow to share the lift.
Edit: Just spoke with my colleague, he mentioned he read in another local article that only 50 people are being layed off, those that belong to gaming. The other 400 who belong to special effects will remain.
Even those 50, they are trying to accomodate them into special effects team and some may fit.

One of my friends at Lucasarts actually recognised you when we went to Muddy Murphys after the last gathering.Sergei82 wrote:Yes, I was wondering where and when did he disappear...Wd40 wrote:One huge Ang moh bald head and a big beard, scary fellow to share the lift.

There is a post on one of the premier local news portal forums about the Lucasarts closure.Mi Amigo wrote:I expect all the rabid xenophobes on TRE etc. will be delighted at the news. Their plan is working...
