David Sirlin, a key player at Backbone Entertainment, developers ofStreet Fighter II HD Turbo Remix, has left the company. He announces his departure with astrange post on his own blog.
We don’t know what went down, but he says he’ll always be available for patches or updates toStreet Fighter HD Remix, so no worries there. Then, he follows this with links to poor review scores of other Backbone titles likeBrooktown HighorCharlie and the Chocolatefactory. What is he trying to say here? Is this a kind ofI’m done with this kind of crapstatement?
Sirlin says that he’s available for hire. Of course he is. He ends his post with copypasta from Backbone’s Wikipedia page, and this sentence is highlighted:
One of Backbone’s prominent key members is David Sirlin, an arcade game enthusiast known for his involvement in fighting game tournaments, mostly theSuper Street Fighter IItitles.
He says that he took the “high road,” but we think he took the confusing road instead. Sirlin, care to clue us in on why you left? Does it relate toSFIITHDRat all? Who threw the first Hadouken?
