yep er ret spændende hvad de mon arbejder på. Det lyder som et godt team de nu har fået sparket sammen. Alle forventer vel at de laver noget i retning a Hitman igen eller hva? Hvis de kommer ud med en casual puzzler, så bliver jeg iht overrasket

Læste lige dette på deres side:

Any current employees of IO Interactive should be aware that a non-solicitation agreement is in effect between Reto-Moto Aps and IO Interactive. This agreement is set to expire in July 2009 so no positions can be offered to IO employees at this time.

Så de nye folk kommer ikke direkte fra IO kan jeg forstå? Selvom det lyder som alle er fra Hitman teamet?

Ja klart, det ville jeg ogsaa i henhold til blive overrasket over =)

Betyder bare at de ikke må fiske hos hinanden. Deadline og IO havde osse en sådan aftale for et par år siden (jeg tvivler iøvrigt på om det er lovligt i hh til dansk lovgivning omkring kartel-aftaler mlm firmaer, men det er der nok nogen der ved mere om end jeg). Det forhindrer dog ikke at man uopfordret søger jobs hos det konkurrerende firma...
