... Without him Relic went full retard afterwards and have been continuing its long streak of continuous failures since...
I dont know any of this history. But in my long years in the business world I can tell you for a fact: Any company that is successful, is only successful because the founders knew what they were doing. Once those people move on, the game is over. Once you start hiring CEOs and going public and have boards, you may as well close up shop. Those people do not know the industry. They will crumble the business trying to do stupid things to make themselves look good.
My company is bought and sold every 5-7 years or so. The noobs that come in go, "You are using method A so we are going to switch to method B." We get sold... "You are using method B so we are going to switch to method A.". They have no clue. They just make dumb changes to act like they are doing something. Meanwhile the business suffers and suffers, sales drop ... And the whole time people who have been here thru these changes tell them "We originally did it this way, were profitable, and were growing our business because of it."
I have lived thru these monkeys getting paid ridiculous salaries to ruin the business. That is why I am constantly saying "Relic management sucks balls". They are constantly dropping the ball. Clearly the people in charge do not know the core business and what makes Coh successful. And our only interface is a poor community manager who gets hired not knowing the game and who gets moved as soon as they start to understand what the hell is going on.
All we can do is act like Americas CNN anchors and speculate. Since we have no facts.
This vomitous diatribe brought to you by Rosbone™, your leader in nonsensical musings he knows nothing about....Rosbone™, when you are just so bored you will read anything....
See even my marketing blows Relics out of the water
