In shock revelations earlier today, it was revealed that Lee Bamber, Head Programmer and co-founder of The Gamecreators, has been on the streets of London, selling the as yet unreleased FPSC.
The story unfolded as Rick Vanner, Commercial Director, announced that Mr Bamber was absent from the office. A rapid cover-up saw Rich Davey alleging that Bamber was in fact building a new office.
Batvink, our undercover reporter, set out to find out exactly what was going on, on such an important day in the history of the company. Enthusiastic FPSC fans across the globe were waking up to the exciting prospect of downloading the full version of the software. These early adopters had spent many months frantically building some of the best FPS games ever created by everyday folk like you and me.
Rumours started around an exciting product launch in Piccadilly Square in the heart of London’s entertainment and shopping district. But what our intrepid reporter found was in fact from what the rumours had suggested.
In true Del Trotter style, Bamber was found under the hi-tech, neon signage of the square, stood over a battered, brown suitcase. It was immediately evident that the case was full of the first batch of FPSC software boxes, shining in the mid-morning sun. Further investigation found Mike Johnson, longstanding colleague of Bamber, stood at the top of the Tube stairway, scouting for potential customers and the Old Bill. Johnson scarpered at the first sight of our camera, last seen heading into the Trocadero Game Zone, fumbling through his wallet for change for the 80’s retro arcade machines.
With the lookout gone, we approached Bamber, who had nowhere to hide and too many boxes under his arm to run. At this point, the full story became evident.
This was not a crime driven by the desire for hard cash. It was not driven by greed, or any other line of crime ever seen before. This was in fact a crime of passion, driven by the heart. For the FPSC project was 4 years in the making, and it was time to show the world that the effort had all been worth while. Another 2 weeks was 2 weeks too many for Bamber, who finally cracked under the immense ecstasy of seeing FPSC come to fruition. We congratulate the whole team on their efforts, and forgive Bamber for his desire to give the world FPSC at the earliest opportunity.
We phoned Vanner for a comment, but he was apparently too busy looking for 3 more FPSC boxes to complete the Castle he has spent 3 days building on the floor of his office.
