Yesterday, we posted our opinion about Jason Rubin’s story regarding 4A Games and the environment this studio has been working on. According to Rubin, ‘4A’s staff sat on folding wedding chairs, literally elbow to elbow at card tables in what looks more like a packed grade school cafeteria than a development studio.’ However, it seems that Rubin exaggerated as 4A Games’ office is… well… fine and not as bad as what Rubin made it look like.

Jason claimed that the entire 4A studio would fit easily in the (underutilized) gym at EA Los Angeles’ offices, and that the budget of Last Light is less than some of its competitors spend on cut scenes, and a mere 10 percent of the budget of its biggest competitors.

By now, most Metro fans are pretty pissed off about the Ranger Mode DLC of Metro: Last Light. If you’re a regular here, you may remember that we covered this story back in March.
