The Fate of DNF is fine.

In a Shacknews article earlier today it was revealed that a couple of the 3D Realms team members have left the crew and pursued careers outside the company. I too, felt a rush of panic raging over me, and expressed my grief at the respective forums. Well, I am posting this news item now not to quote Shacknews, but rather to reverberate Joe Siegler's reassurance that "There's honestly nothing to be concerned about."

... People leave. People come. There's staff on the project you don't know about. You know some, you don't know most. There's truly nothing to worry about. I know from your end it would seem bad, and if I wasn't still working here and knew more, I'd probably feel the same way.



I'm not worried about my paycheck.



... It's internal business - all employee departures and comings have always been that way. This is nothing new. People have left before, IT IS THE NATURE OF THIS BUSINESS. It's the way it goes.



I'm sure people will spin my remarks by saying "He's the company guy, he's gonna say that stuff", but I was out to dinner with George and some other guys tonight, and listening to them, I'm not worried in the least.



You shouldn't be either.

Thanks Joe... I'm sure we all feel a little better now. But I sincerely hope the team members who left get replaced immediately, as not to further delay the development of DNF.
