Dyack on the corporate culture of Silicon Knights
In our exclusive three-part interview with Denis Dyack, the Silicon Knights president revealed the company is built much like a guild. "We do games differently than other companies," Dyack told X3F. "We're not saying we have it right and everyone else has it wrong but we do it our own way."With ten staffers soon to be added to the, already long, list of decade long employees at Silicon Knights, Dyack told X3F that he hopes the company continue to support the industries most vital resource: People. "Everyone at Silicon Knights realizes that we're a knowledge based company and in a knowledge based company computers are $5,000 pencils -- the only value is the people."
Check out our exclusive studio tour and stay tuned at noon for the first part of our three-part interview with Denis Dyack.

I believe he said a $20000 pencil, not $5000, you guys weren't listening, clearly.

Seriously. The only message I'm getting from all of this is that Silicon Knights is bleeding badly.
(Mind you, I never understood the whole kerfuffle over Too Human. They showed a not-quite-release-ready build of their game and suddenly it became cool to hate on them? WTF.)

No amount of Dyack coverage will make me go buy Too Human. You can stop now.
