Good luck guys!! I would certainly apply if I weren't already working full time for someone else. Can't wait to hear about the new projects in the pipeline!!

I'd have really loved to have gone for this. But sigh, all american stuff is just nasty in terms of immigration. Unless someone can get me a greencard :))

Good luck though, I'm sure this would be a really inspiring job!!

It's great to MGT's growth, in spite of the trials. You're an inspiration to us all.

Someone rated this a 1? Strange. I must encourage you programming types to go for this. Great group of guys, company on the rise.

Matt I guess some people just don't want to try to realize their dreams as a game developer and would much rather struggle it out and try to roll a hard six for the win instead of joining an established team with funding.

Thanks for the kind words though Matt.

Maybe someone doesn't like you :)

It's fun knowing what I know about MGT, big, huge funded plans in the future :)

Doh, I guess Germany is too far away for a daily drive to the office ;)
Great news that you guys are expanding though, all the best for your future plans! :)
