- don_neufeld 1y agoThanks, but trust me - they were no saints. Kelly Flock threw the project I was leading under the bus with Sony Pictures on his way out the door when they fired him. I barely saved it. Brad McQuaid, as CEO of Sigil famously didn’t even show up for the meeting where the whole Vanguard team was told the company had failed and they had no jobs, and no severance. The games industry definitely has its heroes, but they ain’t it.
- p3rls 1y agoDo people think McQuaid is a saint? Have they touched anything he's worked on in the past 25 years?? Pantheon isn't just the worst MMO I've ever played, it might just be the worst game I've ever played.
