Founders lineage edit
The people who started GPG where, I believe, ex-Cavedog/Humongous Entertainment people, and not ex-Microsoft people.
- Okay, but do you have a source for this? — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:49, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'll try to dig one up. I think perhaps confusion may have arisen due to the fact that early on, Microsoft was signed as the publisher for GPG's first game, Dungeon Siege. So, perhaps this kind of blended things in the mind, as it were. Dxco 20:18, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

- Great article, by the way. Most post mortems are borderline advertisement for companies. This one was pretty heartfelt and honest. Anyhoo, more generally, if you head to the Moby Games website and do a quick run down the list of people who shipped Dungeon Siege, you'll see Total Annihilation popping up in personal credits left and right.

I changed the info. Thanks for sourcing it! Actually, I probably read that Post Mortem, I just don't remember the details. Was it the one for DungeonSiege? — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- Yep, that's the one. Dxco 17:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Hah! Just noticed what appears to be an anal MS employee, correctly changing "Mocrosoft Games Studio" to "Microsoft Game Studio". Awesome - that's got to irk those poor guys, considering how frequently people make that mistake (self included). Dxco 05:20, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Huge Fan edit
Just wanted to say, in case Gas Powered Games ever get's someone reading this. I'm a huge fan of Gas Powered Games and anxiously await future titles. The guys from Cavedog know what they're doing, their TA games including TA:K were the best RTS games of their Genre at the time, and TA:K still feels fresh after all these years. --67.132.247.158 (talk) 01:40, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
