http://www.textteaser.com/ http://www.textteaser.com/ - Chrome extension. Generated for this article (pretty rubbish, tbf): One morning late last year, not long after Guillaume, a developer at Ubisoft Montreal, had finished working on his newest game, he was told he'd be moving offices. Guillaumewho asked that I not use his real name for this storysoon found himself on the third floor of one of Ubisoft's buildings in downtown Montreal. For the days, weeks, or maybe even months to come, they were in "limbo," as Guillaume put it. Call it Video Game Developer Purgatory. But as each person finishes his or her role on a game, there won't always be new positions or projects open just yet. So instead of just laying off the ones who can't be placed on new teams, Ubisoft sends them to limbo. Though I wasn't able to talk to anyone who had a positive experience in Ubisoft's game developer limbo, it certainly seems better for employees than mass layoffs.
