"Which is meaningless when Ultima 8 was dogshit, Ultima 9 was dogshit, Tabula Rasa was dogshit, and Shroud of the Avatar is seemingly dogshit as well."
Ultima 8 was not dogshit. I remember it as being darker and creepier than the past Ultimas. Remember the head chopping at the beginning ? That impressed me as a kid  They just tooks the game somewhere else. Artists are expected to stray from repetiveness.
Ultima 9 was not dogshit. Seamless 3D engine, enourmous land size for the time, placeble objects, waving 3D water, day/night cycle, wonderful music, and so much more. Are you f**in kidding me ?! Ultima 9 influenced games like Gothic and all 3rd person RPGs like that.
Tabula Rasa. Welp...

buy a skin for 2 bucks...
that's so sad
the reason i got into games was because back in the day games were an art form they were expressing stuff about us humans.
nowadays it's a BS dumb-entertainment-as-a-service freeforall... |

Creating ART (any kind of art) is one thing. You leave behind a legacy. If it sells, more power to you. But simply performing what someone else wrote....why the fuck would you get paid for eternity for that?
performing is also an art.
without the actors' voice and style for example Thiefs' Garret would not be Garret.
Just choose your favorite character with a voice in a video game and turn the sound off for a bit.
Or better yet just try to record yourself 5 minutes of voice-over for a game you play and listen to yourself afterwards.

Extremely pertinent kotaku post.
I was saying the same thing to a friend the other day.
Besides some DLC (which is usually a hat or something) you get the preorder in your hands the same day nowadays. on steam or at the store.
preorders are money in advance for retailers.
kickstarter could be the same thing but looks more like an investment without shares

Peter has a good point 
A ton of cash is worth throwing away your pride and artistic vision for 99% of the adults these days. Why would be game developers any different than musicians, movie directors, writers, etc...
Maybe Molineux is getting old and boring as a game maker, but cut the man some slack and accept that he's more experienced and probably altogether wiser than most bedroom indie devs at least on a business level...

No, because for the fifty billionth time a kickstarter pledge is not an investment.
That's just words man.
A KS pledge is MONEY. And Oculus invested it.
It's not an investment for YOU (since you were not given shares) but it is money to spend for THEM.
If you wish we can go into the economics of preorders and such and why they kinda suck, but for now, i'm sure you can see that Oculus got their money from gamers who wanted a gaming device (not a social device), made prototypes with that money, made publicity and whatnot with that money and now they are selling to Facebook and turning into a social thing instead of a gaming thing. They are pretty much screwing their hardcore gamer supporters.
This sale is made possible by the money of the Kickstarter supporters.
And I BET that at least half of those supporters would not have pledged money for Facebook...
Can you see now the problem ?
