Whirligig Girl Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 What happened to him? There seems to be some accusations here. People think he's been fired, and are implying Squad is "evil" or something for firing someone with a kid.http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2lj9e0/squad_just_fired_the_employee_that_has_a_newborn/The link goes to the KSP about page, which has a bit about the developers of the game, including legacy developers. A while ago, Lalo (Eduardo) had a kid, announcing it on a devnote.Here's my standpoint on the subject:We don't know he's been fired. Clara Lyrae wasn't fired, nor was Hugo or Chad. He may have taken a parenting leave, or moved on to other projects.As far as i can tell, this is his last devnote. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/91100-Devnote-Tuesdays-The-Can-t-Spell-Kerbal-without-K-EditionOrganizing some legal contracts, making sure that the remodeling of the office is in order and following up with the entire team on deadlines.Let's try and keep assumptions and accusations to a minimum!

AmpsterMan Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Can we please keep in mind that the name of the user that posted this is called "Maxlieskspdies" or , parsed differently, "Max Lies, KSP Dies". I am inclined to believe this is just trolling.Please no spreading of false rumors or lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedNova Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I imagine if he was fired Squad would tell us in some way. There seems to be no evidence that he was fired other than his lack of input in the dev notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 In order to keep the speculation to a bare minimum (and since they're publicly posted on our staff page), I will confirm that both Lalo and Calisker moved on recently. No, they were not fired. A firing would also imply that they were bad at what they did, when in fact, they were not. They were consummate professionals and great teammates who didn't want to make a big deal about their departures. I look forward to seeing what they have planned in the future. What this means for us is that Max and I have a lot more work to do. What this means for you is, well, not much. We're still plugging away at making sure everything's on course and by the looks of things, they are just that. Please remember that as has been our policy, we will not be commenting on the reasons behind past or present departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
