That may be true.
Similarly, Brian is, I am sure, just sick of posting on forums.

I think BR is still into Civ games but he left Fraxis because Sid wasn't giving him enough credit. I'm sure we will be seeing lots of Civ type games, and many other types. And he still can use the engine for SMAC.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I'm sure BR can make an even better engine to use, and something completely new that would beat SMAC. Afterall, he did make the engine for SMAC.
Besides, like Jesus Egg said in the other forum, He should take his time and make something that will stand out so they can be proud of it. It will take BR, and the rest at BHG, a long time to make a great engine, and a great game to go with it.

I think the comment about not getting enough credit is close to the mark. There seemed to be a view back on the old EA Alpha Centauri forums that everything that was good with the game was down to Sid and everything bad down to Brian.
We never saw Sid or anybody from FIRAXIS attempt to correct that.
I think Brian got fed up with copping the flak.
That's why the real Brian never posts on forums now.

It is fair to observe, though, that the team that made Alpha Centauri seemed to revel in the term "Game Gods".
It might not feed the kids or put gas in the tank, but I bet it gave them a warm glow inside.

When someone moves from one company to another, you really can't guess at their motives. There are probably too many to count, and perhaps none of them, by themselves, amounts to much. It's just a totality of little things combined with a desire to go on to something new and exciting.
Oh, and as far as being able to take their code with them... There's no better way to learn someone else's code than to re-write it, and writing your own code a second time makes it ten times as good as before.

Yes, he probably had many motives to leave fraxis, but the main one is that he was not getting enough credit. I am a friend of a friend and I get the info.
The credit my not feed his family, but it made him mad that he wasn't getting enough. Besides, BHG, i'm sure, will make plenty of money.
Anyway, it is none of our buisness to discuss what people think is in his mind.
I have now given you the facts, and hope you use them wisely.
