EA Mythic hires ex-Sigil employees

Do you remember that epic failure? Well, apparently some of the ex-Sigil workers have found a new job position:
We also picked up a few ex-vanguard people here at EA-Mythic central, they are all good people, they have to be to get passed our recruiter bulldog and the interviews we have here. ... At first they looked a little like deer in head lights. It can be quite daunting entering our place and seeing people smile, laugh, be joyous and basically loving their jobs. But we have a great team of people and we are making them feel at home.

They are being immersed in the whole Warhammer-ness of our project and the way we do things around here. I told them to wear their sigil t-shirts with pride. They worked hard, they tried, I know that this time it didn't work out but that's not reason to hide what you have been doing with your life. To use a phrase from GW HQ. "The Emperor will not judge you by your medals, he will judge you by your scars."
That's cool. I hope they hired some of the crafting coders since the Vanguard crafting system put some innovation into that section of virtual worlds.

Plus, by reading WAR newsletters and several interviews it appears that EA Mythic employees are treated better than EA used to (or still does?).
