I only dealt with the executive branch, and I never handed in reports. I had *no* clue how the primary operations were done - I was exclusively responsible for the content side (I was offered the VP of Content job but declined). Unlikely Employee.

I worked for IGE for some of the time period you mentioned. I helped build the first HK location from the first computer. I know when those deals were made, so I'm wondering if I know you, I lost touch with all the guys that worked there. To prove it I can tell you that I owned Alan at Age of Mythologies, Pizza Hut delivered in type 8 typhoons and everyone in Hong Kong carries an umbrella ;) Hey there.

In the thread from Allakhazam that I linked earlier, Allakhazam affirms that he is indeed one of the owners. However, just because IGE has been sold to Yantis, it doesn't necessarily mean that Pierce had to leave Affinity along with it. There is no reason why he would leave just because IGE had been sold off, as he is one of the owners of the entire Affinity network. Instead of leaving IGE in particular as the article seems to infer, he could very well want "out" of Affinity and the MMO business as a whole.
