There's a reason why talented folk and old Dark Age of Camelot people have been leaving the company the last few years. I suppose this is why, putting up with a cock like that as the head of your creative team would be insanity-inducing. I wonder if the mean time from hire to depart for their content creation team is like under a year at this point.
It's sort of a shame that Jacobs had such a hard-on for his ROMAN EMPIRE IN SPPAAACCEEE game. They spent years on and then had to shitbin, sell the company to EA, and then they turn around and make Dark Age of Warcraft (which looks great, but hey it's going to have issues too).
Though to be fair, I'd hire a three-star talent with five-star work ethic too, especially if they had the chops to get better. The other stuff, yeah, someone in HR at EA or Mythic should go beat the everliving shit out of him for saying that.
