Navagon: LOL
I've heard of intellectual property, but thinking you own the minds of your employees is truly taking the fucking piss. "Oh noes! They be taking their knowledges with them!"

michaelleung: Well that is a huge economics problem with some companies. If you train them and they leave with that information they've learned from you surely you would be angry.

Isn't that what education is about though? And isn't that what they look for in employees when they hire them. And don't don't students in colleges learn this stuff from former employee's of game companies? The only way you could stop that is by erasing their memories but that is illegal and the companies would be shut down as it wold hurt the economy.
This states it

DarrkPhoenix: Well, more accurately, that was the Daily Mail's take on the lawsuit, which was then summarized further by the site that was linked to in this thread. Basically information is pretty scarce and unreliable right now, so it's good to remain open to all reasonable possibilities.

True. The Daily Mail is about as reliable a source of information as Ron the Lying Bastard. Especially when it comes to anything gaming related. Then they just throw the facts out of the window entirely.
But still, violation of NDA would be pretty tasty bit of news. Especially when a company is basically founded upon it. So while I doubt that we have all the facts, I'm equally doubting that violation of NDA is among those undisclosed titbits. Unless The Daily Mail have it in for the Codies now.

Codemasters also says Playground Games' actions "disrupted Codemasters' development of its own racing games."

Thats why they should have made sure they would not leave if they are of value to them then they should have paid and treated them better...
