We are moving to a movie industry structure, where people are pulled in at various stages of the project, for just those stages and then let go. Sadly the wages don't match this model as at least movie people are paid enough that they can afford to drift from job to job and treat it like a mini vacation.

Its a strange industry.. on one hand there is news and press releases saying that games are making more than Hollywood movies and there is continued growth, and then there are companies going under. Its about time the government stepped in and helped out alittle more with tax breaks, like they do with the UK film industry.

As far as Eidos are concerned, they havent been doing too well for quite a while now.

don't understand this tax break argument, I mean why should a games or movie company be entitled to a tax break any more than a struggling highstreet shop, manufacturer etc.

I can sometimes watch very average movies to the end and still tell people its okay, rent it and enjoy. Conflict: Denied Entertainment (sorry my turn) turned a lot of people away from the start. Games folk can kick a game when its down. Perhaps gamers earn the right to be harsh because this form of entertainment is a wee bit more expensive than renting a film when usually we buy.

good bye Pivotal, about time too. You've been making shit games for years, the writing was always on the wall.
