What is proven is that his parting from EA and the disastrous unraveling of his own company, Digital Anvil, were both due to his projects spiraling out of control in scope, size and especially cost. Look, history is repeating!

Your bad choice in dating partners isn’t an argument.

Because Jack Thompson was bad when he said the same things...

None of this would be a problem if Steam’s review scores weren’t paramount to success. If Steam removed scores and simply allowed players to talk about the game this wouldn’t even be a worry. But no, we’re all well-served by a binary yay/nay system that we all know is highly manipulable.

The solution to this is technically simple depending on the tech (not familiar specifically).

And they make what is beyond an obscene amount of money for doing so.

Oh man, if it were a bakery I’d ask for the address so I could patronize it!

How hard is it to bake a cake and just move on? Apparently really hard.

Not a lawyer, but that amount is symbolic, not realistic. That’s how these things work. The court is saying, “We can kill your business if you try this bullshit”.

Jesus was basically a first century Rambo, right?!

She used proper grammar?

oh, ho ho ho... Brilliant :p (and sad)

The game is shifting from being a large-playfield, open MMORPG to being a heavily instanced, solo-only story.

The credit cap makes that all moot, since free players can’t purchase most unlocks due to lack of funds.

Yeah, that was settled when they decided to make SWTOR instead of proper KotOR games.

It has a crappy f2p model for free players, too. Since the system is designed to retain subs as players during periods when they drop the sub via the various unlocks that are easy-as-pie to get when subbed.

Really? Because their whole method and approach is changing significantly. At MassivelyOP they’re calling it SWTOR 2.0.

Are you seriously complaining about the quality of Kickstarter placeholder art?

My #1 criteria in determining if a game is good or not is core gameplay.

David Cross’ seemingly random voice-work for Redshirt Marine #3 were one of the better parts of my Halo 2 days :)
