So boardroom meetings can be quite the opposite..............

i snipped it sorry for that , but yea the passion , the drive to make "good games" are a saga.

I dunno I think there's still people like that left in the industry, Arkane Studios for one had to go through a ton of shit for years in order to make games THEY wanted to make. The Might & Magic game they made for Ubisoft was originally going to be Arx 2. But there's a reality of things called paying the bills and paychecks that alot of developers end up either having to tie themselves to huge publishers like EA or Activision to survive. I hope Dishonored ends up selling 2 million copies, there's too few groups left like those that made up Looking Glass still around who are actually passionate about the games they make, rather than churning out the next COD yearly iteration.

Unfortunately you have folks like Ol Bobby in charge who are indeed only concerned with the bottom line, profit and greed.
