Post-mortem by Peter Howell

[Paddy™]

The article seems to lay at least 51% of the "blame" for the game's problems at FG's door. I don't know if that was Peter's intention, but the general thrust of the article, at least in the "what went wrong" part, seems to be that TCR had a super-awesome game in mind but FG didn't let them make it, for whatever reason.

In one breath the writer praises the amount of creative freedom FG gave to TCR, and in another he claims that FG were too strict and were the cause of most of the issues the critics were most vocal about. It's the first time I've ever heard of anyone from the TCR side of things (as Pete Howell is) comment on the relationship with FG in a negative way, and that this article is written over 9 months after the fact makes me wonder about the malleability of people's memories.
