This is my surprised face.
The Twilight franchise is also done. COINCIDENCE?

Maybe CCP could start a Kickstarter campaign if this is such a "popular" genre to dabble in.
Spending other people's money on promises is far, far safer.

So it would seem for the success Chris Roberts is having with his what fourty million?
I would call separating a bunch of rubes from their $40mil very successful indeed.

Billy Hix wrote:Taken from the reddit thread Quote:As the spouse of an employee who was let go today due to this, I was wholly pissed off that we were all but certain this was happening Friday night and then to come here and read your denial. It did little to stop the rumors building among outsiders - it did nothing to stop the rumors among the employees and their families, since the writing was pretty clearly on the wall - and only added uncertainty and false hope into our already pretty terrible weekends. The leak sucked for you guys, but this was not the way to damage control. It was indeed cruel to those of us affected. I hope that CCP learns a few things about how to handle such events better in the future. I appreciate that it was a hard situation with the leak (though from what little I know and won't be sharing, it sounds like the dissemination of information in Atlanta was poorly thought out and executed), but this denial only served to invalidate everything we were going through this weekend.
Nothing to see here:

...there's Duke Nukem Forever! What else will happen twenty years from now? Comparing a game just thinking about alphaing now with a game twenty years in development lol Theres a word... disingenuous I think it is
Two axioms Doc lives by:
1) There's one born every minute.
2) I'll believe it when I see it.

I actually totally follow those rules with a game called MWO. SC Im not even that interested in but I can at least tell its not a scam to steal peoples' money.
Neither was Duke Nukem Forever, it just kinda turned out like a scam when people who pre-ordered had to wait what, 15 years?

Because the first rule of damage control is to admit nothing

Hoshi Sorano wrote:Falcon, you've mentioned multiple times in this thread that there are no current plans for the WoD IP. Well, here's a sugesstion you can pass on to the decision-makers:
Sell it. Sell it to someone who will give the IP the foucs, attention, and respect it deserves. After you have mismanaged it so grossly and wasted years of opportunity, the only decent thing to do at this point is to hand it over to someone who will be a better steward than you were.
As a side note for those comparing WoD to Twilight, I'll just say this: if the average Twilight fan spent any time in WoD, then in short order they would be curled up in a corner, rocking back and forth, and staring blankly at the wall while repeating "Where are the sparkles? Where are the sparkles?" over and over. Twilight is teen romance crap; WoD is mature horror. Equating the two is ridiculous.
It's called vampire fatigue, that genre has been over-served for quite a while, so any differentiating lines are quite blurred.

Mikhem wrote:Hmm... This thread is about World of Darkness MMO and it is in EVE general discussion. I demand ISD here and move it to OOPE Out Of Pod Experience.
GD is also known as "General Drama", so it's in exactly the right place.
