Agreed. I just don't understand the need! It's harder on the programmers, harder on the artists, harder on the player machine and the end result doesn't look as good. You end up with too-smooth polygons and angly curves. The shadows look nice - but that's probably all that's been constructively done with 3D.
3D-RTSs are prolly here to stay, it just hasn't been used properly for anything other than eye candy - yet.
Why bother leaving?
Bring in your fridge, alcohol, ice cream, PS2, inflatables, woofers, pets, you name it. You will be _SO_ on-call nobody will be able to fault you! The company will even save on some of them horribly expensive mobile phone calls. And when the performance of your colleagues drops (mysteriously), you'll look even better!
Of course, don't take my advice. Call a lawyer. Like everybody's been saying here:)
Guy: Hello?
Microsoft: Hello. I'm Bob from Microsoft piracy control. We recently received an anonymous tipoff that you recently bought a large number of OS-less PCs.
Guy: Yeah. We're putting BSD on them. We power our web services with them.
Microsoft: I notice you used to have an NT licence. You know you can't use those NT licences anymore, right?
Guy: Yeah we tried NT, but it bombed out miserably. We're back to BSD now.
Microsoft: Very good. Thankyou for not using pirated software.
Guy: Cool mate. Have a nice day. Thank you for calling Hotmail support. Just send the BBQ upstairs ASAP.

Give yourself a break! If you're sure it's the coding and it's hurting you, then you're doing too much.
:) It's your duty to yourself as a geek :)
Respectfully, get a life

Given the recent, similarish discussion on guitar tablature, I'm half surprised it's not Harry Fox Agency behind this again...
