It's the QA team! Apart from the handful of managers you're talking about minimum wage high school kids for the most part. So why is a company as profitable as this in need of corporate welfare? This amounts to nothing more than a $600,000 bonus for the TT execs thanks to the US taxpayer.

Well, $600K is a modest investment for 150 jobs, even if most of them are low paying. Rhode Island threw $130 million to get the 160 or so 38 Studios employees to Providence.




Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.
