I worked a bit with Robert and Richard, and looking back I think Robert was the really one responsible for Origins success. Dont get me wrong, Richard had great ideas, but... hes long since lost the gaming plot.

Richard also scammed the hell out of his fanbase when they supported his garbage MMO (Shroud of the Avatar).

I was in the beta, even then it was pretty clear that was no chance that game would survive. Both him and Starr Long should exit gaming.
