Then, as VGC noted on the same day , "many" of the developers at Full Circle are gone. This includes artists Brendan Vermeltfoort and Will Granda, seasonal creative director John Epler, and senior designers Adam Martinazzi and David Milne--all of whom posted the unfortunate news on LinkedIn. It's always a bummer when talented developers lose their jobs at the hands of corporate greed, b
