En anonym udvikler, der kalder sig "a tired dev", og som påstår at arbejde hos Obsidian Entertainment, har skrevet nogle stærkt negative kommentarer om Alpha Protocol - et spil han var med til at udvikle - ovre hos Joystiq. Spillet har fået blandede anmeldelser, selvom undertegnede var godt nok underholdt til at give spillet et 7-tal.
Her er nogle af hans kommentarer:
"I worked on this game (a fact of which I am not proud). I'm not here to defend it; I agree with all these reviews"
"The Executive Producer for the game, Chris Parker (also an owner of the company), seemed to think he was the world's greatest designer ever, and created all these absolutely shitty systems and wouldn't listen to any of the real designers or devs about things that just didn't work.
"And you can't exactly argue with one of the owners of the company when he doesn't want to listen. He basically took over the game and dictated exactly how everything would work (or not work, as the case may be)."
"Sega should have canceled AP instead of Aliens..."
Indlægget fortsætter i samme tråd, men skribenten understreger at Obisidians nuværende projekter, heriblandt Fallout: New Vegas og en ikke-annonceret titel, ser meget bedre ud. Tag det for hvad det er, men hvis personen er hvad han udgiver sig for, er det meget stærke ord, der også antyder et knap så heldigt arbejdsmiljø.
