Mark Jacobs sacked by EA

What do you think of the firing? Will this be good for Warhammer? Will it have any effect? My thoughts below the fold.

I think it will have little or no effect. I think Jacobs’ direct control over the design of Warhammer had become minimal at this stage, and I think the institutional fear within Mythic won’t go away just because one guy leaves. There are some glaring flaws in WAR’s design that have been there from release, but after they crapped the bed so badly on subscribers they are too afraid to fix those things.

It is a pretty shocking move, but probably well deserved.

What do you all think? Will it change anything about WAR? Will it help?

Damnit EA! You have taken Mark Jacobs, the man who has brought us the wonderful game of DAoC!

owait

Third realm!?

It's going to be just like DAoC again!!!

But yeah, I feel bad for Mark Jacobs.

So EA forces Mythic to release War far too early and it ends up being so buggy it was damn near unplayable for some people. The game, about 6 months later, finally becomes playable but by then its reputation is ****ed.

And then EA fires the CEO of mythic.

Mythic made a ****in horrible decision to sell out to EA and EA still makes horrible decisions all the time. Turning over a new leaf my ***, the Sims 3 only furthers my point that EA is destroying the PC gaming industry and then saying its the consumers fault that it is going downhill...

**** YOU EA!
