    'They told me to destroy' my backups, Fallout creator Tim Cain says: 'People high up at companies take authority but no responsibility' for game preservation

    Cain said he wasn't allowed to save the original Fallout's source code for his own archive, and some of its assets may be lost for good.

            It’s always like this with upper management. And then they argue, their high salary is justified by the big responsibility they bear – in the form of a golden parachute.
