Proof (From Spark Unlimited's twitter):

I know it's not Monday, but we are welcoming a new visualization artist to the team, Christine B. Welcome!
I think it is now safe to say that this is a Star Wars game. I'm 100% sure of that now.
This was a great find. :D

I know, I've been following Spark Unlimited's twitter feed and looking into the backgrounds and portfolios of the people they've been hiring. It probably is, but are you sure this is the same Christine B. as mentioned in the spark tweet? The linkedin profile shows a bunch of high-profile recruiting experience but no graphical or visual information is listed. She very well may be talented at that too and perhaps Spark was just trawling ex-LucasArts employees for their expertise. Whatever the case may be, they must be paying her well because she quit working at Google to come to Spark after only 5 months.

The average Spark employee makes $135, 000 a year (Twitter info). That's a lot of cash considering how long since they've pulled in any substantial revenue. Makes me wonder how much Infinity Ward employees make.

They make enough to survive, then sue for their bonus ;)
