SOE to own VG - Sigil fires employees

[Frawdo]

Ok, this thread ballooned about 60 pages worth overnight, did anyone worth mentioning post about this today? Links please if you have an idea what page the worthwhile posts are on.

I kind of feel bad for Brad, really.

I hope he does something different. Maybe a non-MMO type game or something?

Thats what Sigil should have done in the first place. Normally start up companies go and make a small to mid sized budget game to start developing the tools to be used for the real big project.

EXACTLY! Man I've asked that question like a dozen times "why start out with an MMO? Isn't that kinda gay when you've never even made a regular game? Helllooooo." And no one gives me a straight answer!

Uhm, I am saying they aren't as successful as the folks they are taking swipes at.

So not is Neric only retarded, hes a hypocritical retard.

Prolly makes a 5 figure salary too. Losers like him usually are not successful.

Ban this motherfucker, once and for all.

You know, I doubt even Utnayan went so far over the top.

I do kind of. I mean, it was his own fault it failed. I know he didnt want it to end like this. He made a game he more or less wanted and it didnt work out for him right now. I do like Brads idea's and i dont mind camping shit. I mean i dont want it back like old Everquest was, but i do like shit thats kind of long. IT doesnt bother me, because i am not in a race with anyone. I like setting up camps and just exping.

Oh well, hopefully SoE can get shit on track.

So after all the lies you still believe him? Amazing!



I hope he does, but at least he has some cash to compensate for all the pain, so it shouldn't be that hard after all.



If only more people were like you, then Brad could actually try to pull this off again. Fool me once, laugh at me. Fool me twice, call me Renato!



Yeah, it was nothing. Why are people even complaining? In the end we will all die anyways and everything inbetween is just a huge waste of time.

Btw, I got a pretty clear picture now why you got fired.

I got a pretty clear picture now about why you're a fucking retard. I'll be the first to defend a person's comments as I feel everyone should be able to freely state their opinion, but there definitely is a line and you cross it entirely too often. Seriously Neric grow the fuck up. You are by and far one of the most negative and immature posters on this forum. The only time you show up in a thread is when you can pile some more shit onto it. The majority of your posts are nothing but flamebait. I honestly don't understand how you've avoided a ban here by now.

You shit on a guy who just lost his job and is remaining positive. If he wants to work for Brad again so be it. Brad may be hard to work with and is most definitely a terrible manager, however you're flat out calling him a retard for being friends with the man. That's just poor taste and is totally unacceptable. Congratulations you were right. Now get off your fucking high horse, and come back when your balls drop.

No, he deserves nothing but scorn. If not from his complete ineptitude in managing his employees, if not for his scorn of competitors, if not for constant flip-flopping, if not for being totally out of touch with the current MMO market, then at least for not looking those who he failed in the eyes to tell them of their fate with Sigil.

He knew it was coming. He probably knew when it was going to happen. He could have been the one to tell them or at least had been there when it did happen. He wasn't (allegedly.) For that I have nothing but contempt for him.

As for those employees who have said they would work for him again... I don't mean to be disrespectful, but you'd have to be pretty foolish to work in a company where he was top dog after this. Being his friend has absolutely nothing to do with it. I have several good friends, but if they were starting a company I sure as hell would have reservations about joining as they would make terrible managers, as Brad has shown that he is.

To those who have lost your jobs, good luck in finding your dream occupation. I've gotten the "Thanks for all your hard work but everyone is unemployed as of 30 seconds ago" speech and it's a heart breaker. I hope you find what you are looking for.

You are 100% right and I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just too good at heart for this world then, I guess, but I can't spit on a man who is literally swimming in a lot of shit, despite if he lost money or not out of this deal. That man had a dream and saw it fall in the toilet, go down the pipe, the water was flushed and it ended in the most stinking sewer ever, where a white crocodile tore it into pieces and ate them.

Good luck to you as well for finding a new job.

Absolutely will, and deservedly so.

I don't get a thrill out of it, I am trying to make him learn a lesson. This idiot just got screwed big time and from his posting it's obvious that he would allow it to happen again.

No sir, you are retarded. Trust me on this one.

There is zero chance that you will teach this person anything with your approach.

You have no clue how people function. You could not motivate fucking terrorists to blow themselves up with that approach.

Trust me on this one. You are a little prick loser.

[Sinter1]

Yup because Brad cares what Neric thinks. I'm sure he tracks you daily to see what you post about him. Get over yourself dude, this last gem you've graced us with has to be some of the most self-centered and arrogant bullshit I've ever seen.
