Why Schilling didn't tell his staff about 38 Studios' demise
Former 38 Studios head Curt Schilling reflects on the controversial demise of his Rhode Island-based studio, noting that everything moved so quickly that he didn't know what to tell his staff until it was too late.
"It wasn’t that I didn’t want to tell anyone…it’s I didn’t know what to say."
Former 38 Studios head Curt Schilling explains why he never told his staff about the studio's impending downfall in a new feature from Boston Magazine.

"I believed with every ounce of my being that everything was going to work itself out," he says.
