Dyack may step down as head of Silicon Knights [update]
Dyack having a boss could be just what the company needs. Silicon Knights has notoriously slow development cycles and having an "evil" business director cracking the whip might help. We can only imagine what other projects the studio could have been working on had Too Human come out years ago as planned; instead of stumbling in this August.
Update: Dyack told GameSpot, "I was as surprised to see this as everyone else. I am not stepping down." The original quote Dyack gave to GameDaily: "So, in the end as the company grows, for my role I'll probably hire someone to be my boss and help run the company, which is kind of a weird thing, and I actually won't run the company while I continue to work at what is the company's bread and butter, which is original IPs with great stories and game concepts that are provocative to gamers."

It takes a special kind of studio to be able to churn very good to great games out on schedule without some oversight, and when you're serving multiple masters, that job is made more difficult.
Maybe cut a deal with an independence clause, like Bungie.

"Blizzard has notoriously slow development cycles and having an "evil" business director cracking the whip might help."
"Valve has notoriously slow development cycles and having an "evil" business director cracking the whip might help."
Sure, they're no Blizzard or Valve, but to claim that someone "cracking the whip" would result in games that are just as good but come out sooner-- that's ridiculous.

Seriously does anyone still give a sh!t about Too Human?

Why is it people these days think that if they don't like something personally that it has no value? There is a HUGE difference between an opinion of something's worth and something's general value.
You seem to not be able to distinguish between the two.
Reality is going to hit hard if you spend 60 dollars on this piece of garbage when it comes out. You've been warned, but I have a feeling you'll be buying it anyway. I've done my civic duty for the day.
So you're still pumped for Duke Nukem Forever then?
