General Discussion - Statement by previous GGG employee - Forum

" CharanJaydemyr wrote: I caught some typos. I probably had a hand in life bars. and I made sure old viper didn't splash. that's about all I know. Good feedback comes from experience, a desire to help the game and not just yourself, the ability to articulate clearly and concisely but also to elaborate and an earnest willingness to defend your stance if need be, and to change it or say nothing if not. None of these are sold by GGG, even if someone apt to possess these is probably going to support. I don't see the point to the follow ups. And I don't see the point in leaving this thread in the clusterfuck of "wah wah trade suck" bullshit that it became - so forgive me while I try and fill a couple of pages up with vaguely on topic stuff :) == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future! Last edited by CaptainWaffleIron#2395 on Sep 15, 2015, 7:24:10 PM	Posted by CaptainWaffleIron#2395 on Sep 15, 2015, 7:23:15 PM Quote this Post

Their one overseas employee, Brian Weissman, is a founder of GGG. In fact, I believe GGG stress that if you can't come to the office in Auckland to work, you're basically off the table. That means there are probably NZ folks who can't work at GGG either. I realize I'm somewhat late to the party, but I feel compelled to point out that I am Kiwi, born and raised. I do have dual citizenship in NZ/USA, but I'm mostly Kiwi. On-topic: we actually get a lot of feedback anonymously - from server metrics and statistics: hours played, characters created, maps run, bosses killed, fish caught, deaths, trades, etc. etc. Of course we do read the forum, too. Lotsa good feedback here, though sometimes we need to read between the lines a bit... Code warrior	Posted by Rhys on Sep 15, 2015, 7:42:01 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

I guess strictly speaking, it is not oral or spoken... The ever evolving world of language often terrifies me. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.
