Stampers leave Rare

[A Black Falcon]

Even if they don't directly program the games, as the founders and leaders of the company they have a huge impact on what the company does... I'm sure you don't want to admit this because you don't want to think of Rare going the way of those three companies (or others; I could have mentioned Ken Williams and Sierra, for a really, really clear case...)... maybe it won't; Blizzard has lost some of its early members and keeps going. Some of the founding members are still there, though (Allen Adham is still President, I believe), so they haven't lost ALL of their early talent...
