Congratulations, Splash Damage!


(Dr_Plantboss) #1

I want to congratulate Splash Damage on gaining their independence from Nexon! The forums have been updated to the new server!

I also want to thank Nexon for their contribution to Dirty Bomb, and hope that they will continue to have good fortune.

I am very happy for you guys, and hope that new content will be coming soon.

Considering how many people SD appears to be hiring it seems as though they are going to get serious about Dirty Bomb \o/

Which also as good as confirms the speculation with nexon holding back developement.

37%(19/51) of those open positions are for gears of war, still a big increase in the team size for db, but considering that they’ve to replace all the nexon staff, idk if it’s that much of an increase.

the new hires are for new and existing projects

While its a fact not all of those positions are not for DB team (I haven’t checked myself but trust your word for it) and least some are definitely replacements for the ones that Nexon covered, they’ll now however all be under the same roof, literally. No more inter-continental, awkward team meetings via whatever clunky systems they might’ve had, but all the stuff is done within same company. That should definitely smoothen up quite a lot of things.

No, that isn’t what it means at all. SD was bought by Leyou quite a while back and all of this has obviously been going on for quite some time before it happened. Business deals aren’t done overnight. So don’t try to start any rumors and just be classy about the whole thing. A lot of very good people put in serious hours trying to make the game something we all love. Just respect that and move on :slight_smile:

Nonono, the flag needs to be the Splash Damage logo

@Amerika wait, I thought you are with nexon??? I thought you left.


(Amerika) #14

Nada. I’ve never been with Nexon beyond being a mod and loving DB. MissMurder asked me to be a mod forever ago, Raz kept me on when she came in and now Shoe is keeping me on now that SD has bought the rights back. Ardez stepped down as his interested in DB waned. You might be thinking of him. But he too is not affiliated with Nexon outside of being a mod.


(GodsMistake) #15

I hope so. I love this game.

Very Nice SD.

Now with all this hiring all the sudden, my question is was nexon slowing down sd progress and limiting them thats why sd booted nexon or was it just that this new chicken company ownership the reason nexon is gone. Or was raz right and nexon wasnt happy working with sd.

Edit: Ohh… didn’t see my favourite cancer :slight_smile:
