Baseball star Schilling's Studio Bats For Expansion
38 Studios' Project Mercury news sparks business interest.
Major League Baseball star-turned game developer Curt Schilling is considering moving his studio out of Massachusetts as he aims to expand to over 500 employees by 2013. After announcing a publishing deal with Electronic Arts, nine different U.S. States and a whole other country are pitching big offers for relocation.
"It’s growing ridiculously fast," Schilling told the Boston Herald of the size of his online video gaming venture, 38 Studios. The developer, established in late 2006 as Green Monster Games, has grown to acquire fellow studio Big Huge Games and has started work on an RPG codenamed Project Mercury for EA Games.
Both 38 Studios and Big Huge Games house 80 employees each - the plan is to grow at a breakneck pace to work on "the next generation of online gaming experience."
According to the Herald though, Harvard Business School professor Noam Wasserman has said that the company has spent at least $20 million in its first three years of business. The former Red Sox star wouldn't comment on the figure, but if it's true let's hope that Project Mercury can get some of that money back.
