Sure it may or may not be factual; but the bitterness certainly rings true.

All the more reason to hold it at arms length and give it a critical look. Lets assume its legitimate that EA Louse is a Mythic employee. What do we get as a result? An employee who is unhappy that they got terminated.
By the way if EA Louse really does work for Mythic or EA then they're not a "whistle blower" from a legal standpoint. A whistle blower is someone who reports on a company doing something illegal. The law protects whistle blowers from retaliatory firings thus giving employees the incentive to speak up and "blow the whistle" when a company is doing something illegal. EA Louse doesn't report any illegal behavior on the part of EA or Mythic, so he/she isn't entitled to legal protection or legal recognition as a "whistle blower". At best this is just someone got a pink slip and got pissy so instead of just leaving like a pro they shot their mouth off. They'll be damn lucky not to get found out and sued into bankruptcy and probably black balled out of the industry as a malcontent and a trouble maker.

Chapter 2 and 3 are up. This was interesting:
Quote:
kno won:We forged DAOC. We helped forge some of the great mmo pvp concepts in the industry and we can return to that. **We don’t need anymore existing IP’s**. We had our own and it was something to be proud of. Come up with something new if you can’t commit to DAOC. Hell we poured/are pouring our hearts and souls into Warhammer and did the best we could. Now come talk to us, ask us what WE think went wrong and where we want to go. Let’s start again. Look at UO and DAOC now, for those of you who are fans, we have some of the best talent in those games now. Calvin and Stuart have assembled amazing teams and are still creating awesome content and ideas. Our two oldest games are our money makers. We did something right there and we need to rediscover it.
Amen, brother.

The part about EA kinda surprised me...
"To EA corporate, your hands off approach to this company helped lead to it’s failure thus far in regards to WAR specifically. I’m not saying you needed to come crack the whip, but as a smaller studio you could have help guide us a little bit better down the roads of multi million dollar projects."
When EA buys a company and then things some to go to crap, I must confess my knee-jerk reaction is to blame EA (I blame EA for many of the world's problems). Kinda surprising someone from Mythic felt EA should have been a little more involved.

^^ Ya, that part (among other things) made me question his intentions. I'm pretty torn on this but i kind of get the feeling he's doing damage control 
My reading comprehension kind of sucks now though. I suppose i should re-read it all when i'm not tired so i can better take it all in

This article is the worst kind of troll bait and that's how it should be treated; like troll bait.
....
I disagree. Sure it's a rant and should be taken with a certain tone but it's it immediately got 2 extremely well known former Mythic people in Walt/Sanya to make comment which can pretty safely be interpreted that it's at least in the ballpark on a lot of touchy things.
And it hit on the anti-EA/Mythic sentiment because... because it's almost impossible to miss at this point.

The part I quoted in "The Truth" article was a reply from another anonymous Mythic employee. It wasn't the same guy that wrote the original blog. So that is why this one was less anger filled.

But every time EA dangles that carrot of a new game holding the title of a previous series I really like.. And I buy it.. *CAUGH* C&C4 I rage a little and want my money back.
EA has seriously killed my joy of video games.
CnC generals, CnC3, and CnC Red Alert 3 ... were all total trash....
