Wow that was such a great read! I never really knew the in-depth details of how poorly treated the Core staff really were... not even being invited to the launch parties of their own games must have made them feel so demotivated and unappreciated. Especially after all the immense time and effort they put in.
It also really makes you wonder if Toby Gard has stayed, how different would Tom Raider have turned out. He’s such a great game designer and was clearly years ahead in ideas, if Angel of Darkness had still been created then he (alongside the other staff’s original vision) could have made that game amazing.

I hope all the original developers really know how much their games are still loved.

Me, when I see spelling errors about TR terms

The implications of this make me deeply uncomfortable...
