Talk:Cryptic Studios

Improving This Article

I've cleaned up this page a little and updated the Infobox. I've also restored the company logo to this page with an appropriate fair use rationale. I hope to make further improvements to this page in the future as I have time. (SirBruce (talk) 10:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC))

Isn't it a bit disingenuous of the article to say "most" of the team moved to NCSoft? Absolutely EVERYONE but Emmert moved to NC. SoheiFox (talk) 04:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

This is untrue. I know of at least one other developer who moved, and I do believe there are more. AbleToGo (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Corporate culture

I'm no pro Wikipedia editor but the "Corporate Culture" part sure sounds alot like advertising from Cryptic itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.249.128.26 (talk) 20:21, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes. I've pared it down. In the future, feel free to make such changes yourself. Powers ^T 12:30, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Ugh, anon here. Had to remove "increasingly getting a reputation for poor gameplay and inadequate support." from the opening lines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.61.255.87 (talk) 12:22, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

More of this going on; seems like folks with complaints think Wikipedia is where to register them. Syberghost (talk) 12:53, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Perfect World's Acquisition

And for aditional solidity of the statement, NASDAQ. Kahn Iceay 07:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kahniceay (talk • contribs)

Does Perfect World actually OWN Cryptic Studios at this moment? I don't know how these things work, but as far as I can tell, the articles only say that an agreement has been made for them to purchase Cryptic, not that an actual transaction has been made or ownership handed over. Also, the guys at Cryptic say that they are still working under Atari at the moment, although I guess that might just be because they haven't handed off ownership yet...

Better Business Rating

I have returned the BBB rating section. It was removed with no discussion as someone thought it was not valid. BBB gets accused of giving higher ratings for members paying, not worse ratings for when they don't. Also if you have a better source or better discussion on the topic, you're more than welcome to add it in as a replacement. --69.85.88.55 (talk) 19:54, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

It states fairly explicitly on the BBB website that they have no idea how large Cryptic Studios actually is, and thus treat it as being the smallest possible business size, which would considerably lower its score (since it is based on number of complaints based on the size of the business). It also seems irrelevant since I can find no other articles for equivalent companies that list their BBB ratings, and it adds nothing of note to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.53.181 (talk) 16:46, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
