Curt Schilling is nothing if not outspoken. The man has cemented his legacy as a baseball player, staunch Republican and an avid MMOer. Throw in the fact that he's more or less a legend in Boston for helping the team win the 2004 World Series and you've got a man with lofty status.
Curt Schilling is also nothing it not cocky and brash, two traits that have paid dividends on the field, but haven't quite translated as well off the field.
The Providence Journal reported that 38 Studios—Schilling's pet project—defaulted on a May 1 loan payment of $1.125 million. The payment was on a $75 million loan issued by the state of Rhode Island to lure 38 Studios to Providence, RI, from Maynard, MA.
Now, Schilling is scrambling to save the studio, but things are looking bleak. Not just for him, but for the Kingdoms of Amalur universe and Big Huge Games.
