So 38 Studios is a game deveopment company that Curt Shilling started a couple years back. Shilling is into MMO's, specifically EQ/EQ2, and he hired Ryan Schwayder (who worked on EQ2) along with a number of other high profile folks. Back in the middle of last year, 38 Studios bought Big Huge Games (Rise of Nations dev house), and is in the process of working on some sort of new title (or titles). I'd thought it would be another MMO, and it may be, but the Big Huge Games folks were RTS - I don't know if thats changed. Anyway, to add an additional and interesting wrinkle to all of this, Schwayder on his Nerfbat blog the other day
posted openings for a big huge number of jobs at the two companies. One of which (not far from here in B'more, hon!) is a senior programmer position that requests strong PS3 develoment skillz.
I don't know what they're making, but if the folks responsible for the best games I've ever played in both MMO and RTS genres are building something for the PS3, I wanna play it.
