Working Designs

dragonlover@denmark-c.it.earthlink.netWell it is me again boys and girls I am back and with a rant last time it was at Working Designs and guess what this time it is about Working Designs again. And now for the rant .....
Okay anyone who has been reading the E3 news on the internet knows that Working Designs and Sega are soon to split paths. Working Designs has announced that it is their intention to finish the Sega games in production and then become a full time developer for the Playstation. How very interesting and how convenient for Working Designs it seems to me that Sega of America deliberately alienated a _once_ loyal developer. If you are wondering why I underlined once I will tell it to you like this they (Working Designs)had already dropped all of their PS bashing(the machine the company exec....etc.) and had already climbed aboard the Money train to develop for this machine.
The tension between Sega of America and Working Designs seem to relate back to this issue and Sega’s hiring of a fellow by the name of Bernie Stolar to the position of COO. Bernie Stolar used to work for Sony in the PS division and it seems that Victor Ireland holds some Ill will towards the fellow. Also looking at it from Sega point of view here is a man and a company they thought they could rely on going over the fence to develop for PS my my my what is a company to think. So here it is boys and girls Working Designs uses the excuse of poor treatment by Sega of America as a smoke screen for what they are really doing and that is selling out to Sony the same company who managed to buy off good companies like Shiny and Eidos
You really have to hand it to Victor Ireland. Instead of making himself look like The wanton whore that some others have they(Working Designs) gets to creep out of this with some of their dignity intact and whole. Well this is the end of the ride for me boys and girls when the train reaches the stop and working designs releases their last Saturn product they have received the last of my hard earned money. Taunt has spent a good deal of money on this company but they have saw fit to make an enemy of me so be it.
