This guy has proven he can get shit moving though with being involved with 2077, so I hope Blizz has given him more than just more money.

That's the problem. I bet not. Plenty of good talent over at Blizz has their hands tied behind their backs with Diablo Mobile type decisions.

I think one thing to note is CD projekt pay their staff pretty badly. I think if a bigger player really wants to poach their talent they are ripe for that to happen.

Member of industry moves position within said industry. Non-news at 11.

Pretty big news since he was the creative director of one of the most anticipated titles in the market since RDR2. And also it's news because he moved from a great company to a lack luster stalling pile of rubbish who is out of touch with their customers. And we all know what happens when these idiots start chasing the cash (including deveopment companies who sell out)

This shit has blown up because it's a slow news day, shitting on blizzard is en-vogue, and CB2077 is hyped to hell and back. Nobody even knew this guys' name 24 hours ago. On top of that, we have no fucking clue what he's going to be working on or what his contract is like. It's fucking gossip of the most inane sort perpetrated by the old bitties of gaming.

Yup. It's the kind of shit you'll see video game pundits mention when they're talking about the fall of the industry when it's common as fuck and non interesting shit.

Especially when it involves a studio that has made some crazy popular games while at the same time paying their employees like shit. The fact they don't get poached more heavily from is really the only surprising thing.

I imagine cross-continent poaching makes it a bit trickier. Or at least more expensive.

Software developers are a dime a dozen. And the type of person who goes into game development instead of the much more lucrative and stable private sector for literally any other kind of software is the type of person who can easily be raked over the coals because "this is my passion project".

Or Blizz is just the Google of gaming, so they hired him to sit in a corner and get him off the market.

They might write him out of the credits. It has happened to me several times. If you aren't there to stop them you get baleeted or maybe a "special thanks".

The guy isn't a software developer, he's a creative director. That's why it's interesting news to me anyway - from my perspective almost all of BFAs issues are in game design, not in any technical implementation or art.

Were you one of the Fuzzy Troll Christian people? If you donate $1,000 I think you can still get your name on the credits.

No this was ancient history stuff. I'm just really forgettable :D

It happens alot though. They need that credits room for the 53 marketing people in cubes at the publisher hq that don't even know the game exists.

Not that I've seen. Definitely not available to preorder on PS4 or Steam unless something changed in the last couple of days.
