Specter of a Spector Departure? [May 28, 2004, 2:35 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Shacknews is reporting
that "multiple sources" inform them that Warren Spector "is said to be leaving"
ION Storm, reporting the Austin Texas-based developer has also laid off 20-25
employees. Ion
Storm Implodes is the headline on a similar story on IGN, which reports on
the layoffs, as well as Eidos' explanation that this was a normal staff
reduction associated with the completion of the pair of game projects that were
underway at ION, quoting the publisher as dismissing the idea that Warren was
laid off as well, though they don't actually come out and say he did not quit.
They have yet to receive a reply from ION Storm, but this was Eidos' response to
questions about Warren's departure:
"Ah rumors... well that sounds like a good one... but it is just a rumor," said the representative. "He certainly has not been laid off."
the entire industry has been going downhill since the advent of graphic accelerator cards... im not saying thats the cause, but since the late 90's PC games have become increasingly derivative, increasingly dumbed down, and increasingly clunky...
I remember when the only people with PC's were "geeks" or "nerds"... I suppose developers had more of an insight into their audience at that time, whereas today you have to pander to the lowest common denominator 1337 posers that pick up "haxor" terminology by association, and couldnt even tell you what Telnet is
we are long due for a renaissance
