I feel horrendously bad for those developers in Vanguard who had nothing to do in the failure but lost their jobs. Sorry guys, best of luck with the future, the MMORPG industry is red hot though and I am hoping you will be able to land on your feet.
As always, it is sad that those that are responsible for failures are not those that end up paying for them, in the end though we all have to make peace with the actions we have done. I am sure that the Vanguard direction was just chronically flawed, not malignant, and hopefully this sends an extremly clear message to the MMORPG community about what the future holds.
Smed/Brad, if you can post something once the dust settles down, it would be appreciated, but I understand how all the details are highly confidential.

Sure he did. I'm simply saying that chief among the mistakes that he made was to attempt to respond to the more obvious trolls as if they were interested in anything other than "pwning" him, and that they're just as culpable in all of this as he was, if not more so.

If you mean 'biggest mistakes' in regards to his relationship with this board's readership, I agree. If you mean biggest mistake in regards to the direction Vanguard took, not by a fucking long shot.
