      Pretty sure they were on about making a LotR MMO at some point? No idea what else they were up to though.

        They made Crucible which got some hype, but it flopped hard. For a game that was in development for 6 years, it didnt feel like they playtested it at all.

      No, they kept all the middle managers on so they can schedule meetings and give each other raises.

        So much snarky hate from baby coders but can you imagine if you had to be a person and pick up the phone and actually talk to your customers. Or actually manage your own time and stay on task?

        The horror.

          “I know what will help these idiot coders manage their time better: more meaningless meetings with middle managers patting themselves on the back”

          Perhaps if you’d get over your density, you’d realise that a lot of developers (myself included) do manage our own time. That take of yours isn’t it. You may want to reconsider.
