Rumor: Incognito now running with only six people

Some network issues in Warhawk are yet to be fixed, but the folks from Incognito Entertainment are hard at work in hunting down all the bugs. They could use some slack though, as word has it that only six people are currently working for the company. A poster from NeoGAF forums claims he received a private message (PM) from a former Incognito employee who shed light on what’s going on behind Warhawk‘s battlelines.

According to the message, Incognito took several losses starting eight months ago. In one instance, 12-15 people supposedly jumped ship to another development studio when Scott Campbell and David Jaffe formed Eat, Sleep, Play. Soon after, around 30 people moved to Salt Lake City’s Disney Studio.

As of today, only Dylan Jobe, Bruce Woodward, Evan Christiansen, Lars Devore, John Crocker, and Nate Robins are left to maintain Warhawk. Three of them are programmers and two are animators. The man who was supposed to be the lead network programmer, Kirk Baum, left one week before the game went gold.

“About a year ago there were close to 70 employees there,” stated the supposed message from the former Incognito person. Having only six people to work on a gigantic online game sounds like a feasible excuse for network problems, but without further confirmation, we’ll have to tag this under rumor.
