Dude, your lack of experience is showing. Working even just 40 hour weeks (and Mythic used to do overtime a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had to do that) on a crappy project is a shitty work environment. We are creatives, we get a lot of our satisfaction outside of the paycheck by working on projects we can be…
There's something to be said for having a say in what you're creating. However, at some point, you should be able to have faith in the leadership to simply tell you what to create. On the flip side, when management consistently asks for input from development, it can come off as laziness and inability to make informed…
I sure hope I don't come off as defending the corporate douche baggery. They're guilty of being idiots and making bad decisions, which sadly aren't illegal at least not on any level that a lawyer would actually be willing to take on EA over.

Voting with your feet. If you don't like it, then leave. Those are conservative views, not liberal, hope that helps.

I agree with you. Aesir, if you see the wrong people leading your team, your not going to like working there. Either way, its nice that this info has come out, not to sure if its all true or not. But it does give you a brief inside look into it all went down. Drama is always fun to hear about.
I really don't see that happening especially if what everyone says is going to happen in Nov, comes to pass. The unions have been broken and beaten down more in the last 10 years than at any other point. If the house and senate flip flop in Nov its going to be very ugly for anyone looking to protect workers... So I guess…
What could they do them for anything they've said though? As for them naming names and burning bridges, they wont be able to work for a bunch of plebs so what? The more people that speak out about shit like this the more the more likely something good may come from it. Instead of the default sweep it under the carpet until…
