One source blamed mismanagement for the current situation, claiming that management was “always acting like there was an enemy, be it the old Disco team, the press, or even people working there” and consequently failed to value its existing talent, allegedly preferring to hire fresh blood from outside rather than promoting employees from within the company.

Who saw that coming???

There was nothing to loot and pillage before the game came out. Only after the original team established a revenue stream that the profiteers could harvest did this buyout/dissolution make sense.

I hope Kurvitz is on to greener pastures. The guy is clearly a smart cool dude and he's got a real creative genius worth continuing to share.
