    If you are interested in crashing software projects, be prepared to invest some time: “Anthem is the game you get from a studio that is at war with itself,” said one former BioWare developer. kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong

    "If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going"

      BioWare The saddest part, as we all know, is that management gets golden handshakes while the developers get the blame (and mental issues) :sigh:

        I had a "trouble shooter" CEO come in to a company I was managing at. Part of our management incentive was an annual retention bonus. The company was in trouble due to insane management decisions (and likely fraudulent activity at HQ), but the retention bonus helped keep the churn down. Now we all knew that he had a $5 million bonus waiting if he made it two years and that SOB had the nerve to cancel the retention bonus explaining "no one should get a bonus for showing up to work." That was a very quiet management meeting - I think we were all waiting to see if a) he was joking or b) lightning would strike. lol Commence hemorrhaging leadership team and most of the developers.... end of company
