Couple of comments: "Who paid you guys to say that stuff" - why is it that whenever someone writes something that could be construed as remotely negative towards one's favorite game/developer that they're on the payroll of some EvilCompany? It's…

Originally posted by SnarlingWolf Have to wonder how accurate this information is and how much spin is on it as well. First off all reports that have come out from Activision/Blizzard have listed a profit, and one of the few gaming companies to do …

A couple of notes on comments so far: * I paid fairly close attention last night and indeed, space loot isn't awarded on ground and vice versa. So my bad there - working from memory. * I notice that everyone commenting that there is in fact a g…

Originally posted by Ozmodan Nice article Scott. I suggest you bone up on Agile Development methods, it works well in any programming environment. It will bring all those grandiose ideas to earth. The problem with many development staffs in M…

Originally posted by martaug Please tell me you never worked in the budget dept? you have to ship with 500 complete zones, each with a unique experience and story for the players. This is an insane scope. Here's why: Assuming - just for purposes …

Originally posted by grimfall Let's actually compare the two articles and see if they match up. 1. Ultima Online. Reason for failure - release of better games. Cause A. Scope creep? No Cause B. Technology? No, unless you count no 3D as technol…

Although games with established subscription bases have an income to keep them afloat, new company startups (which would ordinarily be thick as flies thanks to all the talented people looking for work) have been almost completely shut down thanks to…

Originally posted by theguru22 I also take issue with him saying that "every game has a class-system". Darkfall and Eve clearly don't. How can I take this guy seriously when he doesn't even know what a class-system is? As I noted in the blog a…
