^^ And Funcom isn't the only company I've worked for. I know pretty well that I'm far from incompetent.

About stock options, I don't think anybody got those, at least not for working over time. We did have a lot of bonus programs though, where we got some extra money depending on the amount of overtime we worked. But I don't think anybody at Funcom …

Originally posted by ZeGerman1942 As for Funcom firing people, i only know of 3 people who were fired - 2 during development, and 1 (Gaute) after launch. Everyone else left on their own accord. And there were some very very talented people on…

Overtime and stress for deadlines is one thing, but I don't think that was really the biggest problem with Funcom. Thing is that there was a lot of frustration inside the company, on all levels. Of course you had lots of employees that where frustra…

^^ I really like your theory, and generally completely agree with you, only thing is that the situation with Funcom and Osman is completely different from this, so please stup making assumptions about things you have no clue about.

and, I'm sorry Norwegians, but I think this janteloven thing is a big reason why lots of people in management are just too affraid to stand up against the stuff that was happening, and instead just go with the flow.

Originally posted by ruslans It's quite outstanding that most of the time people speak about the "company" as an intelligent almost-human being, which is "lying", "doing", "pressuring", "threatening" etc. And it's not only in this paticular case.…

^^ EA isn't bad anymore at all. And if I compare the situation at Funcom to what I hear from other collegues in the industry, the situation at Funcom is really extreme (maybe not even the amount of overtime, but the way management deals with it).…

I'm a former Funcom employee as well, and I can say that it all looks very recognizable. Of course we had to work a lot of overtime, which I personally didn't mind that much (although some appreciation for it would have been nice), but I can unde…

Yes, they should definitely do this, but before they do it, they'll have to make sure there really is some obvious stuff that shows how the game is different from before. Just less bugs won't do it.

Well, shit happens, but I gotta say it's kinda weird that they didn't find this out before they let that merged server go live.

Welcome to the club dude, but it's very likely you'll be just as disappointed as everybody else once you see the difference between the first couple of days, and the incomplete pos the rest of the game is.
