The new studio: mana.works/It seems that several people followed him. He was working almost 2 years on some project that has just got cancelled and he had to lay off many people recently and that wasn't easy for him to do. It's understandable that he wants a change - like he said in his post - he just wants to makes games. I wish him all the best. On a different note, I wonder what happened to Jeremy Soule's case.

I seen this earlier today...
It makes you wonder, whats happening behind closed doors.
More and more people are leaving, not forgetting the ones that got laid-off.
I'll be interested as to what games he make next. Wish him and the rest all the best.

Honestly, I'm hoping for something with similar gameplay to gw1 without the lore cause that's anets property.
One has to wonder how many of the 'friends' are ex-anet employees

According to Isaiah it's 8 former AN employees (https://www.reddit.com/r/ManaWorks/comments/dcwmh8/welcome/)
I don't think it'll be anything close to GW. Mike said he wants to make small games so some indie RPG perhaps?

eitherway i'll definitely look into whatever he's making, obviously an MMO is a huge under-taking. and a change of pace will probably do them good, with fresh ideas.
