The VP of the company was stupid enough to transfer funds directly from his fictitious company to his own personal bank account. No laundering, nothing. I'd give even odds that ALL Gamespot execs are that brilliant.

So... How far along into production was the game before the major villain's story/character fleshed out?

@felixvarela07 Two evil corporations communicating with each other under the table? Shocking!

I hope he wasn't smiling when he said "so much more bigger."

Why is this even a news article? There's no meaningful content in this story.

Wow, so working in the games industry is pretty much the same as virtually every other industry? I guess I feel bad for all of us now.

Met the guy a few years ago, he was a huge asshole. Probably not surprising but now I wish I hadn't met him.

@saadomar90 And I hate people that judge a game solely on its multiplayer experience. A good shooter needs both.

Ah, Halo. Monkey Chef is still pulling the wool over the Spotters' eyes. Both Borderlands 2 or Far Cry 3 were longer, better stories, and better guns. H4 wasn't that much different than HReach and was less than 10 hours.

You forgot the excellent Rebelstar: Tactical Command on Gameboy Advance, made by Julian Gollop from the original XCOM. It was actually really fun and a good way to forgot that there were no new XCOM games coming out.
