Mythic Not Crediting All Warhammer Online Developers
Coming as surprising news, EA-owned Mythic Entertainment has announced that it will not be recognizing former staff members who contributed to upcoming PC MMO Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
Speaking to Shacknews, Mythic VP and general manager Mark Jacobs said: “Over the years, we’ve had hundreds of people work on the game, and we thank everyone who helped us bring our Warhammer passion to life, but only current employees that have continued until the end will be credited in the final game.”
Meanwhile, ex-employees aren’t too happy with the announcement. Claiming anonymity, a past employee noted that the move would “dog out many, many developers.”
“I spent three years on WAR and I, including many other people who spent just as much if not close to the same amount of time, will NOT be credited in the game,” said the anonymous developer.
Warhammer Online is due out September 18 following several delays and problems during development.
