But if you were an investor looking at his website and saw the NeverSummer Mod picture with a person named, "Moogygirl Cumspitter CheeseZapper" would you really want to invest in this company? Lets be a little realistic here.

Perpetual energy/motion machines can't be done. Absolutely a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, tantamount to going backwards in time. There is no question on this, whatsoever. Anyone making such a claim is a fool or thinks you are a fool.
Ok?

Obviously, David Allen couldn't get any publisher money to make an innovative game, so he's quitting instead of making another clone game. Geez people. David Allen isn't Bill Gates, he needs money to make his games.

If he hates there is no innovation, then why dosen't he stop bitching and innovate, he's in the position to do so yet he's just bitching and giving up.
You, David Allen, are a jackass.
Oh right, innovate and don't give up when you're burned out and lost your vision. Too bad we don't have more of the Romero's of which you speak of in this industry.

I dunno, maby if he had electromagnets and then pulsed a charge in a circular patern... say a star shape, start at the top and pulse the charge clockwise. Wouldn't that produce movement?
I dunno, I know nothing about this kinda stuff.
The downfall is probably that the magnets wear out and need to be replaced every so often, or something...
I could be speaking in latin about ballon animals for all that matters. |

The motors use the power from the permanet magnets and a little power to keep it turning. So it is possible to use less electrical energy in than what is produced. But the total energy in still equals the total energy out. The reason why this sounds familar is because the previous inventers ideas were made to go away by the big oil companies. I doubt that this guy could have gotten patents in 47 countries if his motors were a hoax.
As far as the games goes what about Gathering of Developers, don't they help produce these inovative games that the big companines are afraid to risk their money on. Instead turning out clones of BF1942, which was full of bugs, who would buy another WWII game, boring in my opinion.

No, you are incorrect.
In fact, the article states:
"With the help of magnetic propulsion, it is feasible to attach a generator to the motor and produce more electric power than was put into the device. Minato says that average efficiency on his motors is about 330 percent."
As soon as the dude makes that claim, I find all his other claims to be completely unreliable.

...how many of the people in here complaining about lack of innovation (and that's very true) bought Battlefield Vietnam, Max Payne 2, Unreal Tournament 2004 and the latest Command & Conquer expansion.

The game industry sucks and always has, you've got to have something seriously wrong with you to want to be part of it. Publishers are full of **it and they constantly screw developers over.
But it's not really the publisher's fault, it's their money, what do you expect if you ask someone for $10m for an idea? They're going to want some kind of assurance that their $$$ isn't just going to disappear.
That's an oversimplification of the process, there are other issues involved, but basically it comes down to the publisher taking all the risk because it's their $$$.
On the other hand, if maybe we weren't bleeding $5b a month in Iraq, that money could have gone to developing games... or maybe even curing stupidity. 
If David Allen has a genuine vision that he believes in, I wish him luck in finding a team and investors to help make it a reality.

You mis-stated the facts; the motor does not "produce more energy" (whatever that is supposed to mean) than it consumes, which is impossible - and the inventor does not make that claim. In fact, he explicitly states the opposite. According to the article, the motors run on 20% less energy than conventional ones. Whether there are any significant drawbacks will remain to be seen.

Well then all it took was one nut to approve the purchase!
Seriously though, the more I think about it, the more I recall that the first time I heard about one of these was on the Johnny Carson show about 20 years ago. The inventor was this farmer from the US and he was applying a very similar concept: motors with an unusual configuration of magnets. It just amuses me that both cases are so similar and include inventors of dubious backgrounds.

Well, simple calculation shows:
TASBEM = "There's a sucker born every minute"
TASBEM x 60min/hr x 24hr/day x 30day/month =
43,200 suckers born every month
This clearly demonstrates that this 'major convenience chain' will sell out of these units in about a month's time.
Sounds like a sure thing to me!

It isn't the gaming public's fault. Someone makes a product, it becomes a success, everyone else jumps on board and hopes to emulate similar success. That means it's going to take at least 2 or 3 years for the current fashionable cycle to finish and something else begin.
Is their less innovation and originality than in the past? Yes? But it was also much faster and cheaper to make games as well. A few guys sitting around in a garage somewhere could churn out a hit for peanuts. Now it takes a team and millions of bucks, and most titles aren't a financial success. You certainly can't blame the publishers and their shareholders from wanting to see a profit.
Last but not least, you have shitty overall economic conditions out there for the last 3 years so no one is really crazy about taking big risks right now either. This industry, like every other, it'll come around sooner or later.
