You probably meant "most people in the USA", where employees used to get fired on the spot for daring to ask for time off, or find out they have been replaced when they get back.

I used to work with people who were afraid to go on vacation just for this very reason. I wonder, does this (i.e. getting replaced while on vacation) still happen today?

If only such a similar trick would be possible with our overly emotional spouses.

I have never heard of it happening like that and I live in an "at-will" state where they can fire you for looking at them funny much less taking too much time off.

Maybe IGP got us all a holiday present and fired the devs to hire people who know what they are doing?

I'm pretty sure no one can get fired on the spot. There are laws against that.

Good thing no one pays you to think..

Wish there was a law which required people to research things before they commented on them. You can be fired on the spot for any reason what so ever, in a number of states... we call these at will employment states.

If I hadn't already been told PGI was based out of Canada, I would have sworn they were a software developer based out of Greece.

Then uninstall the game and never visit this webpage anymore.

It's all their work, like it or not.

One can hold out hope that they will get their act together. As you can see from my name and such, I already put down a decent amount of money, so I am going to stay here and share exactly what I think about the directions they take.

I agree, breaks this long are unacceptable, they should be held accountable.

We should make a poll immediately and have them fired if the general consensus wishes so.

Not exactly where I thought this thread was going to go... just kind of wondered when we would see development and communication resume.

What did you expect when a dev teams leaves for 3 weeks while they're game is a broken, unbalanced mess? PGI is very much out of touch with their community and gamers in general.

I hear ya. Sorry, but I do have to close this thread since it's not really generating constructive conversation about the Game. I guess we should just wait until they get back on the horn.
