hmmm... Lockeye was in Drow... Never knew that, must have been before my time on Unrest, but it does make sense. I still do not know why these people would want to move to Taxachusetts though, this place sucks... Unless you like pastey white polish/irish women... Lots of snow, and expensive everything, including taxes.

From what I heard (from a little birdie) in the beginning it really wasn't just about Curt and him being friends, there was / is some backstory as to why Lock wasn't happy with somethings.

Profit sharing is only part of it. GMG is also paying top end for development staff and have the best benefit package in the industry. The profit sharing is above and beyond all that.

Oh and I'd listen to LFG...

No amount of money is worth living in a crappy place though... Taxachusetts really does suck... Unless you are into the whole hippy thing...

Except, you can also live in Rhode Island, or Connecticut and commute pretty easily to Boston.

In case everyone was still wondering why all of the people left SoE, I think this quote from Schilling tells us everything we need to know...

Couldn't agree with you more. I knew when this company started that regardless of how incredible Todds art is, or how unreal the story is that R.A. creates, if we don't get the true leaders, within the industry, to lead this studio, then it won't matter because the game will suck.

As you can imagine this is not a large industry. The people that are coming to GMG to fill these roles, most of them are at work for other companies committed to other things right now. When they do make the transition there will be announcements made and I think at that time people will realize that talen wise, we nailed it. I can say this much, I had a short list of dream candidates to run my studio, hoping to get 1 of them. At the end of the day GMG got 3. Even better is the fact that these people are excited about working with and for each other. THeir resumes are unreal, and their accomplishments in producing and shipping titles is every bit as awesome as the creative talent here.

so he is up to something...

He doesn't post under that anymore. It just made no sense to yank his red name status since he's posted the vast majority of the needed forum infos.

He now posts as Ryan Shwader as a VIP from Nerfbat.com.
