I don't understand how 12 years of failure makes the news. At what point does a 'developer' not deserve to be in the news at all?
10 years of failure, 20 years of failure, 30 years of failure... are we going to be doing another article on the "new roadmap" for this game in 15 years?
It's tempting to open a kickstarter, post screenshots, and know that I can literally troll the gaming commuity and news sites for decades and still get press anytime I say something - even though I've nothing to show for it.
Get in now: Founder's Packs $4000.00
Your main game is 6 years into failure, a complete rebrand, and whirlwind romance with Gamigo. Something somethin glass houses, but we're not even at the "leopard's ate my face" and "self aware wolves" stage yet soooo......
Is it wrong that there is this tiny part of me that goes to their website and whispers "For just a few more dollars you can get the 'All Future Expansions' perk from the Founders Store"?
Personally, I was disappointed when I saw your post in the other CU thread not to see this:
Very disappointed...
Yeah for that amount of money Marc would need to give me weekly lap dances
I live in Vegas. That seems awfully cheap for weekly lap dances.
I also live in Vegas and am the marketing director for a strip club. Lap dances no problem thats plenty...its the private/vip dances that would drain that in record time lol.

Get what I'm saying?
No, I literally don't get what you're saying.
#1: You seem to be making a game choice some sort of team selection where if a person enjoys a game that struggles that person is no longer allowed to comment on a different game's failures? That is why you lost me at glass-house because I'm not on a 'team', I've purchased a 'service'.
#2: Even if #1 held up, and it doesn't, the fact is I'm playing my failure right now and enjoying it - oh, look, my 'team' (eye roll) doesn't charge thousands for founders packs - I assure you that if you want to make this a team thing (whatever, lul) you don't want the comparisons to start.
So again, I really have no idea if you've a point in there - but I'm sure you think you do.
I hate it when I free-style bag on a game and then the developer shows up. I don't know the developer, if he's a crook, merely incompetent, or a good guy trying to do the right thing.
If he's one of the good guys, I hope he pulls victory from the jaws of defeat.
When/if it releases, i will most likely give it a go. He brought me DAoC, so there is that. That being said, i will expect a flop....anything better than that is a bonus.

We need good MMOs, I never buy before full launch so I guess that gives you the long view. If we get a good game I am there, if not I move on.
Hey, just wanted to drop in and thank MMORPG for the coverage, positive, negative, or so-so, I appreciate it. BTW, I'm in agreement a lot of the criticism and hopefully all of it will be taken care of this year as work continues on FSR, CU, and the engine.
Thanks everybody for reading the stories and commenting as well!
That's it, I'll go now.
BTW I don't give lap dances otherwise there were a lot of crypto folks out there a few years back that were interested in what we were doing and were willing to throw money at me (I also turned down a few ICOs that people wanted to use my name for). I'm still not interested. Not now, not ever.
TTFN.
Welcome back Mark.
All I ask is don't tease. Do not say 2025 CU launch, string us along to Q3 2025 and then indefinitely delay. And be open about what "launch" means. When you set low expectations and exceed them, you get a positive reaction. When you set high ones and under deliver, some people (like @kyleran ) can be very merciless.
Hey Mark just wanna ask how much of your game dev journey hick ups can be blamed on Chris Roberts? Asking for a friend
J/K
Just keep doing what you're doing, f*ck the haters.
You seem like the type that will hold a fart for days just to savor the discomfort.
How cute projecting your swgalaxies grieving
/shrug , what's is to grieve? I could play it today if I wanted to, but it doesn't mean I want to. I've moved on, but I got some good memories and made some good friends out my time in it back in the day so yeah I like to reminisce. Kind of like telling old college stories; doesn't mean you want to go back.

Yeah just give me the body I had back then, you guys can have the college.
CU is a failure - a painful one. Failure of a dream, trust and a game.
Mark as CEO has little to no standing to a wide audience of players, irrespective if their refund is pending or not requested yet (is there a 3rd category?)
4.3mill USD crowdfunding sank with with no accountability to an external investor those came much later of the 12years of saga and may now demand a product.
Don't take me wrong, I wished it would be a success , but now - I will never touch a product with such backpack of dishonesty and unreliability.

Fair play to Mark for posting, gamers are still waiting for their game, so it's going to be a bear pit in here and not a Larian one.

It would break my heart.
