I think CF is in Gearbox which makes CZero at first, but later the work of CZero has gone to TurtleRock and the work Gearbox has done has gone nowhere.

The whole development of CZ is one big mess and completely fucked up - to say it in a nice way.

CF and Gearbox made some of the first CZ content, but since then other companies like Ritual and Valve themselfs took over and it ended up being Turtle Rock who finished it.

The problem was that each firm discarded a lot of what the last studio had done, so much work just went lost.

dunno much internal about the development itself and how much it was fucked, but the reason that CF did not continue his bot there had ( also ) other reasons. but unless CF comes here and tells them for himself ...

dunno what markus currently does. I tried to phone him last year before octoberfest, but all numbers I had were dead. dunno what he currently does, but the last mail I have from him ( ~2-3 years ago ) was quite positive, looked like he had a lot of changes in his life.

Botman works at Gearbox, maybe he knows more about what happened to him?
