So that Second Sight game I played a few months ago, which I thought was so cool, was created by...poached talent? Wow, that bums me out. I don't know what else to say except that reporter is right when he claims that not a lot of outsiders know what's happening within the game making biz.

What do game coders do anyway? Sit in a dark cubicle all day in front of a monitor staring at lines of code? And waiting for industry poachers to show up to offer them a blue pill or red pill?

Yea  man, as if codemasters put a gun at their head 'Work for us or die!'

All they probably did is 'We have openings for so and so, and here and here, spread the word!'

The employees themselves went to codemasters and accepted the offer. What is so wrong about that ? Capitalism at it's best people!

Whoa, you should check your sarcasm detector bman. I think it's malfunctioning.

I was merely being flippant. I'm not criticizing game coders for parlaying their talents into hard cash. They can do whatever they want. As long as they can show their spoon-bending coding skills by making amazing games, I'm happy to keep on buying and playing them. So it's all good.
