one to get the burnout code and make a greatest burnout game like a burnout world, lol.

But great and sad news that...

Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

Reading various tweets from folks it seems more people are jumping ship. I think it would be quicker to list the people still working for criterion games than those who have left. I don't know who they are though... or if there are any??? I guess Matt Webster is one.

Overall this is sad news, Criterion games has changed beyond recognition. What this means for the future of Burnout is uncertain. I liked the discussion Xandu and Suffur just had, that it might be a good time for them to cobble together a best of burnout game! ;)
