Rumour that Dave Kaemmer left Papyrus

Scott Husted relayed a web rumour that Papyrus co-founder Dave Kaemmer had quit, unhappy with layoffs at the studio. Posters speculated about a GPL2 or a move to other projects, but word soon came that Sierra forum staff had called the rumour false.

IF it's true maybe Mr K could team up with the Wests to make a bunch of add on cars to sell with WSC. Maybe he'll retire and help out with Rudd's Racer. Does this mean that the big wad of cash that was amassed (the Papy Present) will be going to a bunch of rookies who have never even heard of GPL? "Scott B.

What a strange world we live in. Richard Garriott forms a company that spawns several groundbreaking, record selling products. His reward is to be forced out of his own company. If the rumour is true, Dave K has produced what could be one of the best selling lines of racing sims of all time. Just to be squashed like a bug on the windshield of Corporate Commerce. The final irony maybe that the company that squashed Kaemmer's hopes, also was the victum of the same tactics when Sierra sold it's sole to a larger cash cow. Where are Roberta and Ken Williams these days?? dave henrie ps...I think I'll start up a company myself. I can probably hire a certain un-employed programmer fairly cheaply. I'll call the new company. CART!!!!! dh "Racecraft" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > So my "In A.D. 2001 GPL2 was beginning" post was actually quite accurate:o)

It was ICQ'd to me. Figured some people would like to read it so I posted it on RAS. Within 2 hours I get 4 more ICQ msgs "informing" me of this rumor. ROFLMAO What's the name of that game... "pass it on" or something where you tell one person who tells the next, etc and by the time it reaches the end it's nearly the total opposite. ? -- Scott B.

Yeah, probably started out by Dave saying he was leaving his desk to get rid of some sh**ty food he had at lunch in the company cafeteria. Next person picks it up that left the building for lunch because he can't stand the sh**ty company cafeteria. Finally gets to the person that passes on that Dave has left the sh**ty company cause he can't eat lunch at his desk. "Scott B. Husted" wrote:

I think this is just wishful thinking. DK will only leave when he becomes tired of making NASCAR games. I don't think Sierra will ever let Papyrus do anything else. - Michael

Sorry..
