Looks like your thread got at least thirty people here to read it--and consider that the person who would most like to see it closed and forgotten is Richard Garriott himself. I'm sure he'd like to erase all the comments from history.

It's about twenty threads down from this one, on the same page.

More on EA-- While RG was praising Blizzard over a week ago, talking about his interest in getting back into gaming, on the 16th he was dropping hints about wanting to go back to EA . All the awful things over the years said about EA, an…

I think the point is made that NcSoft trusted too much to the Garriott "brand" and did too little in the way of oversight. Putting one brother in charge of making the other brother work, and giving him influence on the board of directs, was also n…

Who can blame the guy for doing something he has always wanted to do? I'm sure you all have dreams... Sometimes I have to wonder, do any of you work for a living, or are you all still kids living at home with your parents? Do any of you kno…

Stock options are tricky for average people (like me) to understand. There's an explanation by wiki which is not very helpful. But when I read of executive compensation, salary is meaningless compared to what an executive walks away with in stoc…

Ichijo-- here's news about what Raph Koster is doing these days... http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal_tech/virtualworlds/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212900535&pgno=1&queryText=&isPrev=

allocating 2.06 million shares in stock options to him, his brother Robert, and other Destination employees. You rather rushed past the stock options. Today's stock price is about $57. 2,06,000 X $57 + ?? $117,000,000 However…

Whereas games are like movies - I have all these old movies on VHS tapes that I cant lend to people as most people no longer have the old technology required to watch it. That is a better analogy than a book. But there are libraries of old movi…

A book can be its own operation pain in the ass. Especially if its a multi-book saga and each book comes out 12-18 months after the previous. My point was how a book is different than a game as far as handing it down to others. If you have a che…

Why would NCSoft lose anything if they fired either Garriot? It isn't like they would walk away with tabula rasa as if they own it. NCSoft could replace either of them with another employee and continue the project in whatever direction they chose…

We are arguing at cross-purposes. The simple fact: NcSoft trusted too much to the Brand Name and provided too little oversight from Seoul. Once they invested, they had the choice of firing the executives and losing all the original investme…

I don't know how much more to say to illustrate what I think is an obvious point--once the cash leaves your pocket and enters the pocket of someone else, you've lost a lot of control. You also need good oversight if your new company is across th…

Let me try another metaphor. The Banks in the US have lent a lot of money to people who bought houses that lost their value, and now those borrowers are not paying the money back. Who's in real trouble, the borrowers or the banks? You can see f…

Have you ever stopped to consider how designing a game is so different from writing a novel ? A book can be placed on a shelf and taken down and enjoyed again, or given to someone else to read. A book is its own "operation immortality." But a g…

It's my considered opinion that there is no serious intent on his part to create a game. This is a bid for attention now that he's back from space and has no place to go, because most of NcAustin is now NcWest in Seattl. He needs some adoring to…
