Treyarch <3's Gearbox
June 30, 2008 3:46 pm Game Development
Over the weekend something bad happened.
I play a lot of games, and I have opinions about them (hey, what gamer doesn’t), but talking shit about other developers is unprofessional and is one of the biggest fuck-ups anyone can make. In fact, it’s arrogant, extremely juvenile and unwelcome, especially in an industry that is trying to “grow up” and be like any other professional industry.
Treyarch isn’t in the business of slamming other developers and I’m personally embarrassed and upset about the whole situation. I was distraught and depressed all weekend, especially because Treyarch isn’t a terribly well-liked developer to begin with. I just wanted to go on the record by saying that I think Gearbox makes great games and I hold them in high esteem with other top-notch developers. This is coming from a Treyarch employee.
The fact that those things were said is totally unacceptable and I hope the good people at Gearbox understand that we don’t feel that way at all. We love you guys and I’m sure the next BIA installment will be awesome.
