Not to sound fanboyish or sarcastic...

But have you noticed that Sony has been losing alot of people over the years? I know MS has as well, but for someone working at sony, to go to a nearly bankrupt company like Atari!

Could it be that there is something going on behind the scenes that we aren't aware of?

There has been two people who have left Sony, one last year and one just now.

And no doubt it was Phil who hired her, who persuaded her to follow to Atari. Becuase ofcourse he is president of that company.

Maybe you should worry abotu real life conspiracies, rather than ones in the gaming industry.

It's getting time for Atari to go PS3 exclusive, every one from Sony seem to be moving there.
Looks like this is Phill's master plan.

Phil and Paulina are only loyal to their own pocket books. There is no brand loyalty out there. The same fixes that going to be on the PS3 version AITD are going to be offered on the XBOX as a down load.

in the end Phil and Paulina will go where ever the money is.

6 - Why the hell do employees keep migrating to ATARI?!
Seriously, out of all the companies that they could go work for, they go work for a company which is floundering in mediocrity?

Maybe there is something brewing in the near future that we don't know about...

Sony cant be a very nice place to work especially if your a higher up.

First the father of Playstations left, then Phil H left now the Head of Singstar is leaving....to go to Atari of all places

I wonder whos next to abandon Sony during the PS3 generation, cause im sure this wouldnt of happened during the PS2 era when their console was actually making them money

7.1 - Do you want to list everyone that's left MS over the past 4 years?
You make it like Sony is the only company that has people leaving. MS had FAR more people leave. And just so you know, the ps3 is actually making profit now. Or have you not seen Sony's quarterly report

By your theory, MS can't be all that great a place to work either

Sidenote- Some of who you mentioned didn't leave, they were fired. Big difference

I can think of few reasons.

1. Phil was having an affair with her and wants her there with him
2. She was a good worker and Phil wanted someone to help him there.
3. Sony's in a loss so downsizing redundant staff like phil / ken and now her.
4. Atari offered her better package to her (highly unlikely for studio going down the drain)
5. Sony's going down the drain so she jumped ship.

@3.

the head of software management and the head of one of their most popular casual titles are redundant?

Kick me if i got their job descriptions wrong, but i dont think any of them were redundant. Except maybe ken. And didnt he just get moved to another section of sony?

makes about as much sense as saying microsoft is going to buy ea sports.
They brought in phil to turn the company around. He likes the casual side of the market and brought over someone who is really good at that. Im sure he promised her some creative freedom and she probably is sick of singstar or bored with it now that its in autopilot.

They sure haven't make any games worth noting recently.

Maybe it's because she's attracted to bald men
