American McGee vs Ubi Shanghai !

This blog post from American McGee is quite funny I believe.

His new studio in Shanghai,Spicy Horse, is looking for people to hire ... and since Ubisoft is the biggest game development studio in Shanghai he's trying to get ubi employees.

It seems that ubi doesn't want to release his people "Ubi doesn’t necessarily *like* the idea of seeding outside development teams", so ubi responses to those "attacks".

"Several recent Ubi employees we’ve tried to lure away have reported a significant increase in benefits, salary, and position within the company. Ubi really doesn’t want to let people go…"

I think this is quite amusing that ubisoft is willing to give a lot away to keep his people... in Shanghai (!!!) at any price!

The thing is American McGee offers everyone, who wishes to join his company, an offer letter so the employees will get their raise from ubi, but he asks for a % of the amount received... lol!

This is his new business model he calls "Spicy Horse Salary Inflation Service"

found it funny ;)
