Hi - do you consider non-US remote candidates?

Beware of these folks. When I interviewed (when they posted a remote job here before) they told me after wasting a bunch of time that they aren't actually looking for remote devs. It's not clear why they keep posting remote listings here. They also seem not to be called "Game Closure" anymore. They changed to "Weeby" and then "BlackStorm". Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14485509 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14485509 I'm really curious what they are up to.

  Thanks for the heads up. I too see something fishy going on.

Be careful when dealing with this company. They have rebranded themselves many times. I have a personal negative experience with them, and seems many others do as well. I interviewed on site, and via Skype. They seem like a decent company on the surface, but in action, appear completely disorganized. I'm really curious about what's really going on there.
