They need to make a lot of changes to make the game worth playing, but some people are making money off the gray market and they wield too much power over the company. It's just not going to be fun unless you like griefing.
Isn't most money making based on exploitation.
It's true there is a lot of exploitation, but it's not supposed to be the norm. It's not something to simply be accepted without comment.
A proper economic transaction occurs when two parties…
One thing that's happening, I think, is that the microtransactions have started their descent. Every scheme eventually runs its course and people will want something different. But it's not as if the oldschoolers didn't warn everyone about how it …
Similarly, there are an equal number of people fanatically opposing the game.
I think this is an erroneous perception caused by the amount of noise a few people made, which was then amplified by some opportunists looking to increase their click nu…
There are a lot of people who do not find it entertaining to take things from other people. What passes for PvP in a lot of games is simply a version of depriving other people of their things, or their time. This doesn't interest most people who w…
I talk to people who worked with Roberts at Origin Systems on a weekly basis. The problems that have come up recently (poor management, sycophants, profligate spending, etc) are the same things mentioned about his time at Origin.
Roberts ha…
There seems to be at least one clear divide. There are the people who have come into the genre after the first era who seem to be more focused on the metagame of social comparison. Then there are the people who want virtual worlds.
It's going to …
It's not a trick, there's nothing to bite. I don't understand the anger coming from some people over what they term as ego. There's something underneath that that isn't being stated when people are talking about this. Lots of people name their fa…
What's this constant reference to "ego" all about? Some people seem constantly offended by something about ego, but it doesn't really make sense without the context.
In a country like the US, where the moneyed interests write the laws, asking for government oversight is the same as asking if JP Morgan or Citibank want any competition.
It's just a bad idea.
He is going away though. With a good discreditation this time around he will lose his ability to fool people and be a ringleader. Broad, repeated exposure of his behavior is necessary to inoculate people against any more of his shenanigans. He is …
Err,no The vile little scrot went on the offensive on Twitter as Sandi was turning into an emotional wreck on stage as this as clearly affected her, hope he is proud of himself now !!
When an anti-social like Derek Smart targets someone, th…
I don't think Derek Smart has ever created a game, has he? He must be green with envy that the module integration works, and that his predictions of disaster have been totally disproven. Real classy going after the wife too, eh?
It's interesting that the haters and certain other individuals have decided to focus on Sandi for some reason and make her a special target on their list.
One side initiated a campaign of naysaying against something a lot of people were excited about. It's unclear how many people are involved in this, but it's obviously not as large a group as the 1 million people who are vested in the outcome. This…
