    The IT is fanboy desperation and self-delusion. The same hack writers who had politicians in the intro act like complete blubbering morons groveling at the feet of Shepard to jack the player off and resort to hamfisted tripe like the kid dying in the intro are capable of something subtle?

    Fuck out of here with that bullshit.

    They were in love with a computer graphic of a man who had the face of a praying mantis.

    They must be purged.

    So I've been out of the loop for the last couple o' weeks. Whatever happened with that promised "true ending" DLC? Has it been released yet?

    So he was sick and tired of the corporate ways of BiowarEA, got depressed and unproductive for 2 full years, the management wanted to know WTF is going on, he gets all butthurt about it and resigns.

    That it?

    Yeah pretty much. He's now a volunteer mod at BSN by the name of Ninja Stan, guess ol' Ding Dong can't let that power go.

    Sounds more like he was shit at his job for 2 years and they fired him. Maybe he technically resigned but they wanted him gone and he would have been eventually fired. They probably convinced him to quit because it would be cheaper than firing him.

    I was thinking project leads but I'd like them to be cleansed from the games industry entirely too.

    Do you understand the basics of how games are made? Apparently you do not. Project Leads only report to and are given direction by the Doctors. Which comes from EA management and the Marketing Department. Just FYI.

    So you're saying guys like Casey Hudson are powerless victims, crushed under the oppressive thumb of his evil Doctor and EA masters?

    :lol: No, I'm pretty sure he had a larger part in making a trio of shit games and had more input into the final product than anyone else.

    Of course you can credit EA with the demand for "WE NEED DAT MULTIPLAYER AND MORE DLCZ", but you give them too much credit when it comes to the quality of the final product.

    Jaeson is in denial about BW's decline. He will reach the mourning and acceptance stages eventually.

    So his sometimes rather abysmal suboptimal community management was really a cry for help?

    Word is they would have fired Priestly while they were at it, but were scared of getting on the wrong side of the Hutts (that and the office lift has a max load of only 800kg)

    Like him or not, Priestly actually does his job. He's more of a press officer now than community moderator. The latter was all Woo ever was.
