Most of the writers on this project are not contracted/constant workers. Some of them write stuff for free since they enjoy the game (think of it as more prolific fan fiction writing), most are payed project at the time and only a couple were actual full time writers.As in having constant paychecks. Along with Tobs (as of recently) and Savin, Wsan, SKoW and Balak are only others that are like that. Everyone else either gets payed by how much work they are commisioned for or by the word.From what I remember, he said he had various mental illnesses. He never specified them, but he has said he was almost as sick like NightTrap. Thinking back at the posts on the forums, he would snap at people for no reason though that was awhile back, I don’t know if he still did it that after her semi-inactivity. So, that could explain one thing that could explain he was hard to work with. I actually thought Hugs was part of the staff team too. It seems that even if you are part of the staff, it doesn’t mean you get paid for it like Wsan and Tobs does. I wonder if Skow even gets paid for their writing too. I think the reason why Hugs didn’t really want to get paid for his work is because he took it as a fun little hobby than an actual job. That’s what most the writers do anyways which is why you don’t see most of them writing so much like Savin and Tobs (well he’s a different case, but you all know why that is).
As for the contacts, I’m pretty sure Savin gives you one the moment you do your first submission and that’s basically him being able to profit and commercialize your work.
Now I am not sure what Hugs was, but from what I can guess, he should have probably have been someone like William/B. Where he gets paid project at the time. Did he do it? I guess not.
As for being kicked out for his mental illness. Well, while it is something I am not comftrable with, an employee usually has ability to kick someone if they are difficult to deal with. Even if it is something outsides workers control. So, if Hugs was difficult to work with, Savin had the right to dissalove him to work.
As for altering his work that is already inside of the game. I mean, yeah it sucks for hugs, but really, what are they supposed to do? Leave Berwyn, one of the companions, just sitting there? Now yes, altering doggy boy beyond Alrights image of character does suck for hugs, but it is not first time this happened in these types of games. Like, you are signing off your in game (keyword In game) characters to Savin if you implement them in. Expect if they are guest cameos/you already have TM ownership of them I would guess. Kind of like how Brawl is able to exist. So without it, all of the stuff he has worked on is fair game. Still, based on there workers agreement, Hugs still can use all of his personal characters freely. Savin is just able to use versions that are inside of the game.
Still, once again, I am working with incomplete information. I can not really throw stones at either direction. So, untill/if we get some new information, I am just going to leave myself with the feeling of indifference.
