I am glad I am not the only one that thinks that when I see the IGA tag.

I'm still working on Vengeance.HF|RH ViRGE said:Menzo, Thrax: someone mind responding to this(post 22)? They're claiming Thrax is a dead man.
Let's hope we won't need any more patches than that...Barbarian said:I doubt that Sierra/Viviendi will pay for more than one or two patches after the game is released.
No, Irrational is unaffected by this VU move.Colosus said:VUG does not own Irrational. Not in America, not in Australia. Irrational is its own company that has been CONTRACTED to work on Tribes: Vengeance and SWAT. What COULD HAVE happened is that SWAT was cancelled and Irrational laid off some of the excess workers, but I have no idea if that is truth.
The point is, VUG can not hire or fire people from Irrational. IGA has to make their own decisions when it comes to hiring.

Got Haggis? said:how will they have more resources when they laid off 350 people??
Yeah, I corrected myself a bit later. ;-)alingis said:No, Irrational is unaffected by this VU move.
SWAT is continuing development and approaching beta.
AFAIK, the only change that concerns either project is that VU will now have more resources allocated to getting them out the door successfully.
booty said:Vivendi bought sierra games for 1 billion dollars. Their assets included... Synergistic, Impressions, Dynamix, Papyrus, Headgate, Blizzard and that place in redwood city that I am forgetting the name of.
They have in 5 short years managed to run every single one of them out of business besides blizzard because blizzard was mercifully left alone.
Stilgar said:Isn't papyrus still producing Nascar stuff for EA console titles?
Where are Ken and Roberta when you need them?
enDless_Delirium said:Yeah, but at least Blizzard actually releases their games every now and then. And when they do they're really fun to play.
VU Games and Universal Music were not part of the NBC Universal Media merger. Basically NBC purchased Universal's TV & Film groups (and maybe the interest in the theme parks, not sure about that).PJ said:Btw, is the parent company of Sierra still called Vivendi Universal, or did it change to NBC Universal in the NBC merger? Sorry if this was already covered in the thread, I've just been meaning to ask since Conan began doing the walker skits.
Technically, nobody has worked for Sierra for over a year. When you call me here in Bellevue I answer "VUG Northwest". . Right now my role is not fully defined other than step 1, which is finish Tribes. After we've shipped Tribes I'll worry about Step 2.Got Haggis? said:Thrax, has your role in T:V changed? I noticed that they said any employees that remain will have significantly different job roles.
also, might wanna change Menzo and Thrax to VUG instead of Sierra
