Seriously, I don't wish any ill fate on anyone and hope he gets another job and everything but this was a must in my opinion. Even if their suits and strategist did a little Google searching it wouldn't be difficult to see that Georgeson was a bad thing.

Guys I just want to announce that I have just been tapped as the new director for the Everquest Franchise. I plan to take everything you have mentioned here to heart and will be adding even more Voxels just like you all wanted.

i love it.

"Its just a name change guys! P.S. Don't mess with Brasse, everyone loves her."

literally 2 seconds later

"Brasse is fired, so is Georgeson, EQN is canceled, Daybreak sold EQ IP to Korea, former SOE buildings are on fire. Charred voxels and resumes everywhere!"
