lowyhong: Personally I think the drama is quite entertaining.
Eh, sorry about that. I just can't stand it when people get so very righteous about something when they are so very wrong about it, and this one definitely crossed the line from reasonable concerns to outright insanity.

Anyway, hopefully he's gone for good in this thread. That "screw you guys I'm going home" really showed me!

ktchong: I know they are not Richard Garriott, Chris Roberts, Warren Spector, Brian Fargo, Chris Taylor, Feargus Urquhart, Tim Cain, Will Wright, Tom Clancy or anyone who can be properly and rightfully credited for Ultima, the Bard's Tale, the Sims or any of the titles the Loop Poop guys claimed to have "designed and worked on."

PenutBrittle: Tom Clancy isn't a fucking game developer you thick moron. He probably hasn't even touched a recent game that has his name on it, because he's an author. One of Loot Drop's two previous games was a Ghost Recon title. Are you still going to despite that they didn't work on Ghost Recon? Because I will never stop laughing at you if you do. Games aren't handcrafted by single people, which is a simple concept that's obviously too difficult for your brain to grasp. A person can have a lead role, but it still requires a team putting forth ideas and implementing features. Ever look at the credits for an Ultima game? There's more goddamn names on there than Richard Garriott. If you think the rest of the staff doesn't deserve any credit at all, you're a shortsighted asshole. Games don't emerge fully formed from the hopes and dreams of Will Wright, there's a whole company of artists and programmers behind those designers making things happen. I didn't create McDonalds from scratch, but I would still say I worked there in a resume if that were the case. How is this remotely different. They're not acting like they created any of the games from scratch by themselves, just stating the simple facts of their team's background. Oh gosh. I can't stand arguing with someone acting this dumb, it's hurting my head.
LOL, I often times don't agree with you Penut, but you're about as close to completely right as I ever see.

Also, could somebody please pass me my glasses, this is serious internet business.
I wanted to post yesterday asking him to shut up, but never finished that post, so at least that's got solved during the night. Any reasonable person would have read this as "we have a group of experienced developers who worked on well known games" and left it at that.
Woah shitstorm


On Topic: It's cancelled.

Why's the project still live?

We are and have been attempting to cancel it since we made the decision yesterday. However, there's a problem with Kickstarter. We've contacted them.

"We apologize, but it looks like something's gone wrong. We've been notified about this issue, and we're currently looking into it. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again later." [/i]
