Dyack is incompetent and I hope Nintendo never trusts him with a serious project
One source described SK president Denis Dyack as a man who has "repeatedly stated to the company that artists are ‘a dime a dozen' and can be replaced."
Former employees also described that Dyack refused to read the game's design documents, its script, or play any builds of the game himself
He gave the company a 20 minute lecture on the fact that he'd never buy a grey truck; he wanted it painted red." Accordingly, some SK employees sniggered behind their backs at Dyack: "We jokingly coined the phrase ‘paint the truck!' for other ridiculous, off-the-hip ‘executive orders' that sprang forth from Denis' mouth," says the same source. "Incidentally, I played the game after release... the truck is still grey."
"He'd abandon the project for three months at a time, say ‘everything is good' when it's obviously completely broken, then come back again in a month and yell at everybody."
[There was a] boardroom meeting with Denis Dyack, prepared proposals to address Activision's comments [about the shortcomings of the current build of the game] in-hand," says another source. "Instead of us making a plan together, Denis stated that he wished no one had seen that list, because he didn't want to address it at all."
