[quote who="mentalinstra" reply="8" id="2872813"]Happens a lot as in.... once? [/quote] Well these issues come up now and again. I don't know if its more prevalent for this service than others. The other forums (Steam, D2D, Gamgersgate), aren't as consolidated as these are. I give leeway though for those who run into this on the weekend which prolongs the help process... a lot.
And dealing with some pretty gnarly DRM.
[quote who="Kantok" reply="255" id="2873592"] This is where we disagree. I see there initial response as part of the mistake and part of what was acknowledged and fixed. Brad has said many times that when the person making the decisions on final product is too close to the product they can't be objective and become too vested. A part of that causes defensiveness. It's all been acknowledged. I'm not giving them "advanced credit" by any means. The c
Multiplayer has been so far down on the list for Elemental, I dare not even ask about the "expansions".

[quote who="Kantok" reply="249" id="2873483"] Short of having a magic "Fix-It" button to push and make all your Elemental dreams come true, there's not much more they could have done since launch. Seriously.. what else do you want? [/quote] What else do I want? Well how about getting rid of selective memory loss. Let's not forget the f-off response fans got initially when people said the game wasn't finished. How about the arguments about
[quote who="Kantok" reply="247" id="2872900"] What's your point? I never pretended not to have pulled the numbers from thin air. They were part of a sarcastic-to-make-a-point closing, not part of some sort of pricing or value analysis. Without knowing prices I still know the value that their response and dedication gives me. They have admitted their mistakes and are trying to make up for my disappointment with EWOM by dedicating resources to
[quote who="Kantok" reply="238" id="2872330"] Quoting Nesrie, reply 236 It's interesting that you are assigning value to products that aren't even released yet. I don't agree with your conclusions, but I see where you are coming from. If you're replying to me, the values I used were just the middle values between expansion pack and new game, which seems to be where the expansions are going to fall. And to my larger point, the valu

[quote who="Khorak" reply="204" id="2869362"] This is like deja vu for me. I was on Champions Online when Bill Roper arrived. And then I was on Star Trek Online when Bill Roper arrived. You'd think Bill Roper had personally slaughtered several orphanages and exacted a terrible toll on the world puppy population, instead of simply being an ambitious game designer who didn't have the budgetary skills to be a CEO and bring Hellgate London to fruition.

Oh come on now, everyone knows if you don't call shit rainbows and hand over as much as a company asks for on day 1 without question, then you're not a fan anyway, you're a troll.

Any game (okay, ALMOST any game) if worked on for long enough will be a decent game. When a game is released "unfinished," that is just another way of saying "unplayable" or "unfun," which is the same as a "bad" game - it does not give the user pleasure.

[quote who="FutileEmotion" reply="204" id="2868657"]T Quoting Nesrie, reply 203 I don't give much credit to the GBOR myself. It was quietly rewritten to allow a release like Elemental to happen and be called okay. The only thing that has any weight in the GBOR anymore is an idea of a refund. GBOR aside, I think your comparison is a little... harsh, as in not a good comparison at all. I could go into depth as to why sanctioned pedophilia is not on the sa

I mean i think this is just a symptom of the industry in general trying to talk circles around bad ideas, but really other than reassure people that he's not trying to dumb down Stardock products and be willing to do Q & A's, that's the most he can do.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="144" id="2867777"]Sounds reasonable to me. [/quote] I am not saying it's "not" reasonable only if you look at other series that sell stand-alone "expansions" like the Guild II, all these "expansions" are pretty much the same price as the original game. I don't think those series typically retailed at 50 USD though. I could be incorrect on this specific example.
The swearing, amongst other things, is unpleasant at best.
So a stand-alone "expansion" is going to cost maybe the same as a regular game and not an expansion maybe?
