I don't blame him. Being ordered to work on Kinect all day has to get boring at some time. Now he can work on the PS4 Move!


My friend told me that she turned down a six month contract job to work on a Kinect game for ten dollars an hours for Microsoft. LOL She said screw that. 

It's not worth it for 10$ an hour, I agree.

She said she would've stayed if it was a full position with room to grow, but she didnt see that happening at all. Its a foot in the door but a half assed job listing.

Hey, "Live While We're Young" is a good song! You hush!

Besides, I thought it made sense, since Andreas is headed in only One Direction!

Haha. Oh Kowen, you didn't half make this thread more interesting. It felt like you were arguing with yourself half the time.

OT: Welcome to Sony, man from Rare.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

And now he will be a genius rather than a man that has helped ruin Rare and forced Kinect shovelware on us all.


That's the spirit!

It's an observation. An accurate one. Not negative dribbling in any way. Whereas what you said was condescending garbage. Tired of hearing how awful rare now is and how Kinect is bad for gamers and nothing but shoveleare, now he will no some kind of gaming god "coming home". It's hypocritical BS. 

Why does it bother you so much that people on the Internet are being hypocrites?

The man decided to move forward in his career. Be happy for him!


To a company that hasn't made a $1 profit in years, bleeding money every quarter and recently had to sell their major buildings for money just to rent them back out? That's what you call moving forward in his career lol?  I guess I have a distorted view of relative directions, anyway congratulations guy no one cared about until now.

I have a tiny suspicion you don't like Sony.

On a serious note, I'm afraid I don't follow your logic. Is he gonna be working for Sony or just Playstation? Say someone leaves Zinga when they were profitable and goes to Santa Monica, would that be a step forward or would the fact that he'd be working for Sony which is in massive dept make his career move bad?
