Sacked LucasArts employee joins the dark side?

Following reports that confirmed LucasArts' move to sack a hefty number of employees, it's apparent that at least one of the deposed has joined the "dark side". He has done so by allegedly leaking information about the game maker's upcoming projects.

In a post sighted over at Kotaku, it was stated that the site received an email with some information about Knights of the Old republic 3 and a non-Lego Indiana Jones game. The email supposedly came from a former employee of LucasArts who was really ticked after he got laid off following six years of service to the company.

The source said that KOTOR 3 will be an MMORPG which might be a joint effort between BioWare and LucasArts. A "real" Indiana Jones game is also said to be under development, while another Lego-themed one is being worked on.

In addition, the source stated that the Nintendo Wii might very well get a lightsaber game. No peripherals were hinted at, so don't get your hopes up.

While this word is certainly interesting, we'd like to remind everyone to take it all with a grain of salt. We'll update you when something more concrete comes out.

NDAs usually state that even if the person's employment with the company ceases they aren't allowed to disclose any inside information or else they can face legal action.

I'm not sure if the leak would hinder them as much as it would help them. Leaks of interesting news tend to get a hype going about upcoming releases...

If he got laid off, that means he was an ***** who didn't work right.

"If he got laid off, that means he was an ***** who didn't work right. "

No, that would have got him fired - not laid off.

I've worked for the same company for almost two decades and seen many rounds of layoffs. The people who get let go seldom get let go for the quality of their work - they get let go because they're the ones making the most money in an area the company has decided to scale back or eliminate.

That's the point of an NDA, NarooN. To protect insider information. And that's very significant once their employment is terminated, no matter what circumstances. It does *not* give the employee carte blanche to go to the competitors or public and share confidential information about upcoming projects. Most NDAs specify a period of at least one (1) year after the termination of employment where an employee can't talk about anything learned from their time in the company until the company makes a public announcement of it themselves. Sometimes the term is longer. If I spilled the beans about any of the stuff I learned when I was working for Palm, Inc. I'd be in deep guano right now.

1. create accounts, when create the charater you can see many people who may have been built directly point to confirm, not to choose individual personalities, I am feding up to see MONK , ugly to dead, that way I may blaze my impulse to report these accounts;

2. Grades, dont mixed outside when got only lvl3, if you stroll outside with the low lever, you may easy to track by GM , especially on a large cargo of gold coins ; http://www.viccol.com

3. Exchanges, when on the game will inevitably encounter some players inqure something from you, you are sometimes to be asked buying things , the best way is ignoring them,or just reply "im sory" ;

4. Online, avoid 24-hour online,jagex likes to track these accounts;

5. Transactions.when trade with others http://www.viccol.com do ya guys both take off and bring if something ,shun giving or accepting stuffs or gold ;

6. Skills, there are so many skills, you have to practice a few more options, do not practice single skill, it is obvious to seek excessive profits of money as a single and high lever

7. Consumption, you have to play RS for such a long time, so u must have normal consumption records; dont just save gold;

8. Keys, although there is few intelligence auto, but now there is http://www.viccol.com a semi-automatic button,it also bring some risk;

Ha ha. Perhaps I said many people are aware that you may not entirely know these, maybe you dont take measures, I do only to share my experiences to new friends
