This may just be egging on the unnecessary, but I note that grumpy/cynical UK game journalist anony-blogger The RAM Raider has tipped his hat in the direction of grumpy/cynical UK game developer anony-blogger, 'Game Truth', currently dispensing hate and vitriol on a near-weekly basis.

A good point to start? 'Super studios', in which Mr. Truth claims: "The inside news is this: British developers are the worst developers in the world. Specifically, large-scale British developers are the worst in the world. They live in a high-currency climate, they spend money away on stupid ideas, they perpetuate a management class that drifts from studio to studio, driving each one to the edge of extinction."

There's also an semi-vicious attack on studio mergers: "When two developers merge it’s because one of them has no money and both have no ideas (but the money developer’s CEO hasn’t done his homework and doesn’t realise). These mergers ALWAYS fail, resulting in one of the companies getting eaten by the other and a consequent large staff overhead that dwindles resources, brand values and all the rest of it." Which is fun.
