Its been said thousands of times, you make a great game and it will sell. make a shitty game and it will be pirated. EVERY game will be pirated. But good games (in the ey of the customer) are being bought, regardless of being also heavily pirated. The download charts and the sales charts are often very similar with popular games on top.
There was only one exception when "Alan Wake" was released on the 360. Heavily pirated, but abysmal sales. |

How guys like this ever get to be in charge of anything boggles the mind. Having the right social contacts, having the right university diploma and being in the right fraternities, having the right "social scent", not being a filthy upstart and newcomer, originating from the right families.
To get a job as a CEO is very, very easy when you are born in the wealthy part of the city. Social transition is still very weak, classes still exist and influence our daily life. |

Hmm hoped for much more, not very good as it is now. As with GW1 NCsoft relies on sales in the long run, not only sales in the first two or three release weeks. |

Good way for them to smoke out private servers... Pretty sneaky shit. Considering the VAST numbers of private servers available ... Blizzard is either doing a bad job, or they are not interested in pursuing those servers or this is hoax. |

The game is way over-priced on PC for how bad of a port it is. I also question the rationale of a company that would release a game that could only be profitable with 2 million units sold. Games cost a lot to make because YOU as a game buyer DEMAND that they be made to a certain quality. That qaulity comes with a price.
Stop bitching about voice acting and animations and game will be cheaper to make. Games from major publishers are expensive because the majors are not capable of effective use of ressources. There is no interest in modern project management or software developement methods. Coders and art people are considered as annoying people which are sadly necessary to produce the games the brilliant sales people sell to make the company zillions and zillions of money. Just look at news post about the working conditions in the industry. |

With online games though they just die. Thats why this genre has no history and therefore cannot evolve. MMOs are nothing more than temporary services to (hopefully) make money. They only exist in the present, they are only allowed exist if they can make money.
Sure, offline games are made to make money too, but they dont simply vanish from existence after they reached their commercial shelf life. |

Why do they want to compete with Borderlands 2? Because they dont? There are a lot of people who are not interested in Borderlands or vice versa Torchlight at all. Different games, different tastes, different people. |

Anything to make them MORE successful I am ok with. They have made such a great game. The more money for them the better, which means more Isaac! Until the day Isaac games were developed, produced and marketed by a big entertainment company named McMillen Interactive, which is traded publicly, with CEOs and Directors and Investors and all the other crap which comes with too much money.
I disgressed, sry about that ... |

I would have preferred a "real" sequel, exploring the gameplay mechanics and style of Prey 1 instead of trying something completely different, which isnt actually different at all, just pleasing the "gimme sandbox gameplay now" crowd.
A potential Steam sale for five bucks ... |

You must have been dreaming. Warren Spector has been a joke for 10 years. This Mickey Wii game isnt so bad
At least, Warren Spector has done something remotely worth playing. The Fable series is just ... gahhh, i dont know what this is. Its not a game, it's just a piece of software pretending to be a game, because Mr. Molyneux cant bothered with making real games anymore. |

I could believe those figures for China alone but internationally? Get lost, DD is massive now. Publishers love the idea of F2P because they want to micro-transact the audience until they have to sell their actual clothing to buy virtual wardrobes. I could believe these numbers for every westen country. But ... it DOES NOT MATTER!
What matters is how many paying customers you have. Yes, there might be trillions of evil, evil pirates out there, but this DOES NOT MATTER. AT ALL! How many pying customers i have is important. How many customers are returning customers, because they were happy with their purchase is important. Piracy, shmiracy ... if a CEO still uses this argument to explain the descisions of a companies strategy, he is retarded and needs to resign immediately. |

I really wanted to like the movie given its independent funding and development including fan-funding initiatives, but oh is it a terrible movie. Terrible? No. Dissapointing? Yes. Its like the Wing Commander movie from Chris Roberts. Roberts did a very good job with all those live action scenes in the games, but he was clearly not competent enough for making a full blown movie.
That said, "Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning" was an excellent fan movie, but the people behind it clearly are lacking the writing talent for a more serious and bigger movie. The story had plotholes from the size of the "Götterdämmerung", the dialogue was terrible and most of the time not remotely funny. The only good gag: President Palin being angry at the other countries for violating the space peace treaty, having their own combat ships ready after proudly announcing the american space combat ship "George W Bush".
Concerning the effects: Did you see Star Wreck? Unbelievable! Gigantic space battles and indoor fire fights with lasers and explosions and sparkles and light balls and green screen and matte paintings. Effects you would expect from a multimillion dollar production, but not from some finnish IT geeks, rendering away in their mothers basement. |

Ya and with all their releases after they left Blizzard, it also showed that they needed Blizzard as well. Hellgate: London? HGL suffered from lack of proper project management, a severe misunderstanding of a way of programming called SCRUM. Flagship suffered from too much money EA and other investors had thrown at them.
Torchlight was the closest thing to cool that they could come up with and even then it was not a class a title. Torchlight was a perfect example of how much a game can gain when you have only a very limited budget. You have to focus on core features and make them work as perfect as possible. |

It just didn't work out so well in practice. Because they designed the auction house to be THE central pillar of the game, instead of simply adding an ingame plattform, where people can trade with the official "protection" of Blizzard. |
