The Week In Review: > Take Job, Shove It

This week? It was enough to make anyone consider throwing in the towel, packed to the gills with even more BlizzCon 2010 coverage, a week’s worth of love for PC gaming and a flood of reviews and previews.

Turns out some folks did just up and quit. Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, Take-Two Interactive’s Ben Feder and Snowblind Studios’ Ryan Geithman checked out of the rat race. They weren’t the only ones changing jobs, as holiday layoffs started hitting the video game industry, potentially just the beginning of bad news.

While we look back at the week that was, we have a question: Who else could use another Coors?
