*stupidity*

All that is a far cry from RG robbing the till and using the petty cash to purchase a space hot rod, and you know it.

Well, actually... how is being given $30million in stock options for an eventual dud project and ejecting it into space (while abandoning the project said stock was given for) not robbing the till?
The only way he's not really stealing (in my eyes) is if he injected some of those options back into his game.

They gave him the stock options. It's not like (AFAIK) there was some small print saying he had to stick around and invest that funds back into the game. Shit, he could have cashed that out and bought hookers and coke and it would have been the same result for TabRas.

Because hiring a terrible worker does not mean the worker is stealing.  It means your hiring practices are terrible.

If NCSoft wanted RG to do something with stock options or whatever, then it should be in the contract.  So they can pound his ass if he doesn't.  If it's not in the contract, then too fucking bad.

NCsoft paid for his name and his expertise. He provided both, incidentally the game for whatever reasons was giant shit sandwich. Unless his contract stipulated some measure of success  (it didnt) the money and stock options are his. Does not matter how awful the game performed, it does not matter that he blew 100 zillion dollars on a space flight.
