In your fanatical and blind devotion, you [Cullen] failed to read anything I said. If you think I didn't say WHY I lost faith in Lorne, then you should consider investing in some Phonics books. As for the rest. I love(d) Lorne. Still do I guess. My loyalty lies with oddworld and therefore with lorne (that is until he said, boo hoo my publisher is an idiot so I'm gonna quit). But I think my Tim Shaeffer example speaks for itself. Another thing...I read the whole Hollywood Reporter interview. I understood where he was coming from, but something just didn't sit right with me. He made it SOUND like he was just taking a different approach to same old stuff we know and love...but every time the reporter asked him about an upcoming oddworld game, he kept saying something to the effect of: yeah, maybe once we come out with a movie we'll do a game. Essentially it gave the vibe that he was focusing much more on everything BUT games. Oddworld themed tv shows? All I can say is...In Odd We Trust. And I really want to put emphasis on Tim Shaeffer who is and was in the same boat as Lorne. As a guy who wants to open up a game company...this doesn't give me much reassurance. In fact, it makes me even more nervous about my decision to go into game development.
