Tolles Thema. Ich bin aber nicht ganz eurer Meinung, aber das ist ja auch kein Forum hier. Bleibt am Ball.

Just looks like another EA manouver, messing with a working model and screwing things up. It was bad news when they bought Mythic and Bioware, so just another shovelfull of bad news. The writing is on the wall for those two studios. Too bad.

Maybe Mark could get together with Brad McQuaid. And is Richard Garriot in work?

Seriously though, Mark Jacobs has generally steered his MMO ships in roughly the right direction, and of all the recent burnouts I’d be more interested in his next project than most.

There really is nothing that could make WAR worse right now, so i see any restructuring as a positive step for the game. Also, did yall note that there is a new creative director? Where does that leave PB?

Classic shitcanning. “We have all this great news about all these great changes (and oh, yeah, the old guy is out btw).” Sounds like they gave him a month to find a job before announcing the changes.

Frankly Mark Jacobs said some rather silly things leading up to the launch of WAR. I think that games company executives are just as likely to be annoyed when things don’t live up to the hype as players are. I’m sure he made just as many over-optimistic statements behind closed doors as he did in public.

Leaving aside TOR and Bioware and all that, if Mark had simply been sacked based on his performance as Lead for WAR would anyone have been really surprised?
