Wake Up Mr. Freeman
Update: He’s back! Mr. Freeman appears to be reposting some of his material from the old blog. I hope he has the opportunity to do new writing as well.
Scott Jennings over at Broken Toys posts about the sad news that Jeff Freeman has taken down his blog. Essentially, idiots in the SWG forums were using his blog posts to beat him and his cohorts over the head about the NGE.
Mr Freeman: I liked the blog, I like the NGE, I’m sorry we won’t be able to catch your ramblings online. Luck to you, sir.

If you design a game and then blog COMPLETELY opposite ideas from what the game is doing you might wonder what the uproar is about. Its ideally on the level of a Democrat voting for a Republican candidate because the Republicans are in power.
Lum always had the escape of “I’m just on the server code end of things”, but now over at NC Soft it will be interesting how he wiggles as an actual designer.
I understand the difference between a job, but for christs sake it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at the creative minds at SOE and the shitacular games they produce. SOE kills them and maybe if those minds did a little less blogging and a bit more balls to walls meetings in the conference room we wouldn’t have half the shitfests we have now.
