    THE CEO Resigns, as taken by [url="http://www.relicnews.com"]www.relicnews.com[/url]

    Vivendi CEO Resigns -by UberJumper- 1 comment
    Looks like the Vivendi-Universal CEO, Jean-Marie Messier, 45, has handed in his resignation over the company's poor performance. He made the announcement today at a news conference in Le Figaro.

    Vivendi Universal is the parent company of Sierra On-line. Sierra is funding Relic's development of Homeworld 2 which is scheduled to be released sometime in 2003.

    Messier had organized the company to become an American style media giant, and it seems that his plan stands a good chance of being changed. What this will mean for Sierra subsidiaries remains to be seen, but with 32 Billion Dollars in Debt, there stands the chance of parts of the company being sold.

    Cut your losses, SELL THE GAME.

    It's amazing how a company in such dire straights is still dumb as dirt. I'm guessing someone high up would be embarassed if the game did well, so he/she won't let it be sold.

    It's times like this (the whole corporate thing) that make me think Chuck Palahniuk has a very good point.
