Well.
Let's talk about Infinity Ward. Creator of CoD:MW. Arguably one of the greatest games to be released in the last couple years.
When I worked for Activision, in a certain department, we found issues that were marked MF.. Must fix, as in, we won't submit this game to microsoft unless you fix these issues. Our department was told, in no uncertain terms, that these issues would not be fixed.
Basically their programmers said FU, we won't fix it. I guess I have known some seriously egotistical programmers. We even had Microsoft tell them to fix the issues, and they took on MS. It was CoD, and MS REALLY wanted it to be released, so the programmers won.

Actually, if you have ever worked with programmers/developers, you will know that they just don't care. What they program/develop is their baby and everyone else in the universe is wrong and they are right. In order to prove them wrong, you have to pain them into a corner and not give them any possible way out. Even then, they are still right and everyone else is stupid.
I have no doubt that the ace "developers" you know who typed all the example contained in the book "Java for Dummies" work that way, but in a real work environment, that kind of behavior will get you a quick boot without thanks and without paycheck. This comes from a developer who works in the industry for 25 years now.

and as a game tester for Activision.
lol you make that job sound like it qualifies you as something. It is an minimum wage job, basically the gaming industries equivalent of flipping burgers.
You sit in front of a TV or monitor attached to a computer or game console, and are told to play a specific level of the game repeatedly and report every any bugs you find. You have no interaction with developers at that job aside from getting your next "assignment" lol.

Yeah I am sure the Developers of game really care what the $8.00 an hour testing monkey with nothing but a high school diploma has to say.
Those damn egotistical Devs!

Then again, you don't know jack shit about what I did for Activision, you are just posting out your ass. Not everyone works on the floor as a console jockey, dipshit.
Par for the course, since you are clueless about everything else. I could qualify myself to you, but it wouldn't matter, you just wanna talk trash. Feel free, you opinion is worth about the 5 seconds it takes to read and dismiss.

Durrrrrr, I am a dumbass, so instead of saying anything useful, I will try to make fun of the other guy, especially when I don't know what I am talking about. Duurrrrr.
Fix't.
Tell you what, the day I need to prove anything to you is the day I will tell you my real name and you can go look it up in the credits of the games I worked on. Can you say the same?
Didn't think so.
Duurrrrr.

Of course I can say the same. Anyone can claim anything on a message board.
It is ok though, I am sure your e-rep is still intact with your e-buddies.
