Ahh, but there is a clause in the current Beth contract that Heve has to behave. I think the actual wording is "uphold the standard of Bethesda". This lawsuit only brings unwanted negative attention to Herve, and further hurts his chances of reaching the funding level Bethesday is requiring...

The electric margarita, no salt, on the rocks - not frozen. tequila, blue curacao, sweet & sour mix. If I drink too much, makes my temples tingle.

'Tis a 3rd Stage Guild Navigator when meeting the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV about the dangers of a young Paul Atreides. "We want him killed. I did not say this. I am not here."

Chris is really good. He has some of the most innovative ideas out of all the designers I've met. And, unless things are have changed in the past few years, he doesn't suffer from the horrible affliction of Developer Arrogance.

You aren't kidding. Seems like every place I've worked at either goes under while I'm there, or soon after. I feel like harbinger of death. As for sucking - Blizzard was the only place that really sucked. Interplay was the best. My currennt place is nice, nothing to complain about. A quiet...

Until the final months of Interplay, when Herve's little brain could no longer handle running the company, it was a great place. In fact, the 4 years I was there are amoung the best in my career. Plenty to do; the newest development toys to play with; fun people to work with; barbeques in...

They really aren't temps in the normal sense of the word. Normally, a temp is brought in until a specific criteria is met (90 days, a perm employees returns, project is released, etc). At blizzard, all QA staff start off as a "temp" for 90 days, then, if they display a high amount of "blizzard...

When I started noticing it, I really thought it was just a few bad apples, I really did. However, it was some of the odd policies that caught my attention, and from that, I started looking beyond the nasty people directly around me. I know how it sounds. I really do. I know I sound like a...

Well, where to start . . . Ok, first off the place is run like a military encampment. Those on the bottom most rung - temps - are treated as vermin, and told they are such. No bones about it, you are told you little more than vermin sucking on the greatness of Blizzard. While those on the top...

Then perhaps things have changed since I was there, or the Star Craft 2 development team isn't as isolated nor arrogant as the WoW team. However, what I saw there, how that place is run . . . I can't even begin to imagine how they can get any product out the door, much less keep anything...

Considering the things I saw while I was at blizzard, I'm surprised they can accomplish anything. As for that petition for blizzard to relook their graphics, ha. There is no way, no way on earth those cluster fucks are going to pay attention to anything, any fan, any customer has to say...

I stand by my view that this has all the look and feel of Herve's hand.

I agree 100%

As Brother None put it, FPD is cloaked in darkness and can't even get the director's name without buying a report. When you coupled that with Herve's WELL ESTABLISHED wall of silence and secrecy, this whole thing fits Herve like a frog-skin glove.

Only the truely foolish would work for Herve. Get this as a stellar example of what a jerk he is. Herve filed a false 1099 with the IRS in an attempt to cause me to pay more taxes on income I never received. Now, I have to fight with the IRS to make them see this as a false, and vindictive...

If Herve game design skills and managment choices have remained the same, then this is what I expect what Fo:oL to look like . . .

Why would an investor pump money into this project. Lets look at the facts and trying to simulate having an investor's eye. 1. IPLY does not any staff to create any proof of concepts. No drawings of what could be. 2. IPLY does not have ANY of the original staff who created the product...

Hahahahahah, thats rich.

In my mind, he has neither the business savvy, nor the reputation to dig himself out. He has broken too many deals. He's known as corrupt, stupid, narrow minded, and a person with limited vision and even less knowledge of business. His arrogance has left countless deals slip through his...
