Yeaah, look it's easy to dump on him and call him an asshole or whatever. But I'm willing to grant that it's a messy situation and he's clearly not...Used to profesionnalism? Lmao, he's talking to him like you'd chat with some guy you hang out with or something. Which can be perceived as rude, by someone who is more professional in his interactions.
That said, he likes his ideas but not his execution, maybe the process of delivering updates was slow or whatever, I'm sure somewhere in there he has grievances that are legitimate. And there definitely was a mismatch in communication styles between the two.
Though just firing the guy AND THEN offering him a demotion instead of just letting him work on LB and changing his job title & responsabilities on LT was a such fucking braindead move, his balls are probably all the way up in his skull for this.
It's just that, well, production issues aside I think Embercat was doing a great job executing on his ideas week to week. Most people agree.
That and uh, well his view on what makes a good game and how he'll write the story is up in the air but he seems to be going towards a crash.
Hope it doesn't happen and he can write decently while implementing the ideas he liked from Embercat AND making the fappathon he wants. I'm not optimistic but I'm hoping he can pull it off.
