It really makes me wonder when people praise McQuaid as the savior of online gaming when his last project for SoE finally gets shut down after years of struggling. |
Call me crazy (or wrong) but I firmly believe / remember that SWG was Kosters baby (his "sandbox") and that it's initial success was what catapulted him into Chief Creative Officer. I didn't like SWG at release, and I didnt like it 6 months later.
Thank god I got out before all this recent bullshit went down. The only thing that SWG did better then any other game (and no other game has even come close to topping since) is in the realm of character customization.
Brad's an easy target for his Vision days, but I don't think he was in on SWG.
