No more Keir?

Oh no...

Does this include Keir? If so, :( .

[LORD BLACKFIRE]

I just read the same article and jumped over here to see if there was anymore news. Hopefully Keir still has a job.

[David603]

Heck this had better not include Keir. Keir has been doing a great job especially considering that he has to handle all the Eidos games.

[Arrow]

I don't think so.

A. He's been doing a solid job
B. He hasn't been demoted from admin yet.

and he is on vacation. You cannot fire people when on vacation :rasp:

True. Or maybe... they're going to be jerks and send Keir a letter saying he's been fired with an invite to the Jelly of the Month Club. (Please, somebody get that joke.)

But I do hope that you're right. Seeing Keir go would make me cry... In a manly way of course. :D

We wouldn't think of it any other way....

Keir was supposed to be back yesterday. He was on vacation for 10 days starting on the 17th and todays the 28th.........

I hope not since Keir has done a lot for the forums. But the article isn't clear whether the lay off of the pr etc departments are in the US or UK or both. My guess would be US though since that seemed where WB wanted to do distribution.

[David603]

The article says the entire PR, marketing etc have been laid off. If we don't hear from Keir soon then I'm going to be worried

[chip5541]

You guys worry too much. After coming back from vacation walking into this news on top of his normal duties I will lay odds he is , ATM, swamped.

Besides if anything happened you don't think with everything he had going on he would not have come in here and said something or at least alerted the mods?

[Dremora Warlord]

Good, I'm glad you would understand. :p

But I never thought about that. He probably has a lot of work to do at the moment. And using logic, I think he would have alerted somebody to spread the news.

[David603]

From what I've seen of Eidos, he would have got a non-disclosure agreement to sign along with his last pay check.

Yeah, this worries me some. If Keir got laid off, the entire Battlestations community would suffer greatly....Not to mention the profound effect it could have on BSP.

i hope he hasnt been laid off.

lets hope he hasnt got laid aswell god knows when we will see him if thats the case.

[Tex Vindictive]

Look, this is just marketing. Eidos needs some cash, makes shares, WB buys them but wants a little control, which is the PR dept for N. America. Hitman, Tomb and Battlestations aren't going anywhere and neither are the devs.

[Arrow]

He's still on MSN on his Eidos account, firstly, secondly he hasn't been demoted from admin yet, and thirdly he's been doing a good job. Besides, he's a solid guy; I'm sure he's more than capable of handling whatever stuff Eidos throws at him.

[David603]

drewey over at www.midwayleague.com will have Keir's email because Keir was going to take part in the league. I could ask drewey to get in contact with him.

[M0n3y]

well , the only thing we can do is wait untill he posts again here...
hope he's still in!

[chip5541]

No need. He is still here. See this thread: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=76711

[David603]

Good thats been cleared up.

Good. Glad to see that this isn't as bad as we had feared.

phew...big guy's still here :D

[Keir]

Thanks for your support guys :* )

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Confirms that the Battlestations community is clearly the most intelligent and best to work with :D

Yeah, as per Chip's link above, Eidos can't get rid of me that easily and in actual fact I've managed to land a really cool role which is the job I wanted :cool:

It'll mean that once the dust settles (which will probably be a few months) I should actually have more time to devote to Battlestations because I won't be in the trenches as much for all our other titles.

So anyway, thanks again :thumbsup:
