    I'm glad THQ fired 1,000 people in the USA to hire 400 in Canada. Way to help the country.

    @Malfunktion v2:
    Our government no doubt gave them incentives to bring a studio over here, same thing happened with Ubisoft and their thriving in Canada. I wouldn't be surprised to see more businesses pack up and come to Canada, seriously we love game makers, come on over. Bioware knows whats up too.

    I wish I could find it now, but not too long someone passed along some information to me that led me to believe Montreal had the highest video-game developper proportion in the world. It's quite likely true

    @PaxtonAstypalaea-Prime: Should CAD really be on that list? After the... disturbing plotline involving too much drama which I won't mention by name... I'm much more willing to suggest we replace CAD with Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation.

    @Salen: These are not all things I worship. There are a lot of people who worship CAD, such that it got its own Convention and such, though yes, Yahtzee should be a Greater Deity than CAD, but we should still respect other people's relgions, where they make at least a little sense.

    I'm looking at you, GameStopists!

    And Laughing...

    *ahem*
    But yeah, since CAD was included in the Sunday Comics these days, I assumed there was a Kotaku High Priest who still held a candle for CAD in their hearts....

    I love religions that worship UFOs! You can just sort of squint your eyes at an airplane and experience the second coming.

    Substitute the word Raelism for Catholicism or Judaism and there'd be a lot fewer jokes and lot more cries of outrage. If they did indeed fire someone because of their religion...mmm shouldn't that be punished rather than chuckled at?

    Oh right...its less than 2000 years old so who gives a fuck right? Must be nonsense. Aliens are ridiculous. Man in the sky sending people to the center of the Earth for eating the hind quarters of a pig or cheating on their spouse is A-Ok.

    Wish there were some Babylonians around so they could laugh at the younger religions too. Apsu would find this hilarious.

    What about the nuts that think it was all just an accident?

    What about the nuts that think it is all vibrating strings?

    I honestly can't fault Ubisoft if they did cancel a contract with him for such craziness. On one hand, I don't think it's right at all to fire someone for anything other then work-related issues. On the other hand, I would not want someone like that handling any big project or large amount of money. Hmm..

    @General_D23: To be fair, and in the defense of ubisoft, it doesn't always have to be absolutely work-related to fire some one. What if unknowingly hired a pedo or something of the likes?

    @Kamatari+: In this case, a pedo would actually be harmless since he'd be working with adults.
    Being a cult member nutjob, on the other hand, speaks of the person's ability and qualifications to provide the kind of guidance that I imagine "employee-coaching" entails.
