With Kern at the head this entire project is doomed to fail. He's shown zero ability to lead a project and I've yet to see a hint of maturation from him over his entire career.
I'm Geary, I've followed Firefall since it was first announced, and I'm here to say that Mark Kern ruined it and he'll only ruin this game too. Seriously, look at the dude's track record and do not give that swindler your money.
