I guess Elric has some stuff in common with Geralt, especially the heavy drug use.

Ed: Er, well, before he gets Stormbringer anyway.

Moorcock has publicly accused Sapkowski of wholesale ripping him off. He has a point; it’s not perfect, but the “White Wolf” thing alone is certainly enough to raise eyebrows.
Unfortunately for Sapkowski, Moorcock is a far, far superior writer/storyteller; if you’re going to rip off a relatively famous person you need to make sure your work is superior to theirs.

If "heavy drug use" is cause for accusations of plagiarism, I'm in deep shit.

It's a good thing Moorcock finally has someone to blame for his prose failing to receive any mainstream recognition.

Infinitron this is your chance

What does it mean "don't hyphenate it like role-playing"?

Infinitron this is your chance...

... to save Inxile.

He already do it for free though, why waste money to hire him?

 

[Flying Dutchman]

I imagine a lot of "mainstream" companies wouldn't want to hire from the Codex unless the applicant could hide their identity and postings.

It wouldn't even matter if you hadn't done any "offensive" posts, just being part of the Codex seems like it would screw you in today's sensitive industry?

 

[DeepOcean]

Anyone that is on the know, Sapkowsky stolen the whole storylines from Moorcock or it was just white hair dude on drugs that fucks tons of women? Because if it is later, Ford should be sued by anyone having the idea of placing a box over four wheels and calling it a car.

Eh, Zyklon Beekers did just fine at this very company. Fargo was just befuddled by it all.

I assume Zyklon was Codex? (Sorry, don't know Beekers or history.) Is he still part of the Codex or did he have to cut ties to work there?

I just always got the impression Codex and Fargo didn't get along based on some past interviews (the one where he flew the Codex out to make peace, which seems to have failed).

He had an account here, but his main hangout where he said all the edgy stuff was NMA. He left because inXile's developers (not Fargo) became hostile to the Codex. Fargo likes/liked us, it's the devs who don't.

 

[DeepOcean]

You are really on danger if a) you are a well known guy so there is profit to be made by destroying you or b)You fuck mentally unstable chicks, I think Zyklon Beekers is safe for now. He is only fucked if he hangs around too much with gaming journos and get to be well known by them then "Microsoft hires alt right fascist." hit piece with Fargo firing his ass is just a question of time.
