Hey all,

Recent weeks have seen friends of mine hit by layoffs and studio closures. The situation kinda sucks. Despite record sales, this is a hard time to find work in our industry.

I can't fix the job situation, but I can offer some small help to the affected artists. If you find yourself laid off from a studio, drop me an email. I'll provide a CrazyBump license to use until you find a new gig.

Please pass the message to anyone who might benefit from it.

peace out,

-Ryan

man, what a saint. you da man.

Does this offer extend to people finding it hard to get into the industry because of all these closures?

Dude, that is badass. Great idea and a downright decent thing to do for those in need.

right on Ryan! You rock!

That's very cool of you Ryan.

<3

Awesome thing to do Ryan. I can only imagine you'll probably get a flood of emails from less-than-honest folks, so good luck sorting that out!

Super cool, dude, you rock.

The CB stimulus package. =)

Nice one man.

Ryan, I can't even begin to say how amazing this is. There really isn't enough people like you in the world. It may be a little thing in some peoples eyes but honestly this is huge. Thank you so much for being such a cool guy.

You truly rock.

Especially with Dom War coming up.

I've known for awhile what a bad-ass this man is, and not just because of his Glorious first name.You are awesome sir.

I wouldn't expect anything less from a man of Ryan's stature.

nice one, and hope you get a few more licenses bought by companys when the people get their new jobs.

That is super thoughtful, and one of the best gifts anyone could give to an artist. Very nice, Ryan

Thumbs up to you Ryan, thank you. Now if everyone who can do something themselves like this, then lets start doing it....

That's awesome of you. Cool way to set an example.

Cheers.

Ryan...dude, that is so awesome. Been a fan of you and your program for a long time and was intending on finally investing in it till I got the big axe. From me and everyone else that got screwed up the economic bunghole, thanks.

holy fuck dude, you are so awesome.

I'm lucky to have a job right now, but I would be all over this extremely generous offer if it was otherwise.

Wonderful gesture.

Nice, Ryan. You are a helluva guy for sure.

Your fantastic for doing this Ryan.

This made my morning! Its very nice of you Ryan, hope you have it good!!

This is an awesome thing your doing for everyone Ryan. I really admire you for it
If your ever in Dublin and need a place to stay let me know.
Any friend of these wonderful poly counters is a friend of mine
these men and women you are helping out. inspire me on a daily basis with their
incredible work and dedication to what they do .
They really are some incredible minds. as is your own.

so from a student of the 3D arts. Thank you for helping these people continue to inspire me

Truly a god among puny humans.

Quite literally, I'm suggesting to every game artist I know who's been laid off that doesn't visit Polycount to take Ryan up on this offer. It's fantastic and extremely generous.

Kudos, sir.
