1 - It's kind of amazing to watch the game industry
take it's fledgling steps alongside the industries of television and movies. All the crazy pseudo-journalism, egos, trials and tribulations, campaigns of disinformation, passionate debate and fanboisms.

Whoa, that was deep thought (shakes head).

you gotta be an a**hole to be a good boss and get things done

thats the harsh truth, especially in a technology driven field
youa ren't suppose to love your boss, you're supposed to do what they say because they are in charge for a reason

3.1 - I disagree
Without actually clicking disagree I feel I must give a dissenting opinion. I have worked for assholes in the past and I am getting a whole lot more done now that I have a boss I respect. My boss asks me to do things, he doesn't tell me, and sometimes a week will go by without me even seeing him. What does that mean for me? It makes me more inclined to take care of him by doing everything I can to get the job done. He takes care of my team, we take care of him. You don't have to be an asshole to get your employees to work.

in a lot of cases you are right, but from my experience in a creative field you get people who think their idea is the best and won't go with anyone elses no matter what and the product suffers

but it also depends on the personality of your employees as well, if you have a creative person who is open to criticisms and willing to swallow their pride once in a while it is easy and your way works, but if you have stubborn people who always want things their way you have to go the other way
