HanbitSoft: "Flagship Is Selfish And Irresponsible" on Hellgate Guru
translates an article originally written in Korean where HanbitSoft lays into
Flagship management over the uncertain state of the Hellgate: London and
Mythos IPs (story), and says they are considering legal
action to protect their interests and those of their userbase. Here's a
bit:
According to HanbitSoft, they offered several methods and the means to keep Flagship alive in consideration of the users, but Flagship majorly lacked in effort. Hanbitsoft already has offered large amounts of investments but Flagship replied with ridiculous counter-offers and the negotiations went south. Even so, HanbitSoft continued to make investment offers which were all rejected, leading to the lay-offs of all of the Flagship employees.
HanbitSoft also stated, “Flagship not only lacked effort, but were only looking for personal gain. Firing all of the Flagship employees in order to protect the personal interests of its founding members only shows how selfish and irresponsible they are.”
...but were only looking for personal gain. Firing all of the Flagship employees in order to protect the personal interests of its founding members only shows how selfish and irresponsible they are.
That's the entire game industry in a nutshell. Someone call me when we get people to run the show that aren't greed-infested fucktards.
It's not the entire industry, but with how much money successful studios bring in it's going to bring every 2 bit hack out of the woodwork to try and make his millions off the insatiable demand that gamers have.
Good companies still exist but you have to be more vigilent than ever with regard to new companies because gaming is the new "get rich quick scheme". With the right marketing machine you can sell shit in a box. I'm looking at you ARMY OF TWO.
I think Funcom and Age of Conan might be in the same bag with how they released conan. The game was ok for the first part but seemed to lead into nothing after a week or 2 of play... Their latest patch was impressive but I've cancelled my account and am waiting at this point.
