If inxile included the 3 original BT games in their 2004 release, does that mean this woman is still getting some money out of them?
Really depends on context. The company I worked for also sold machines and services to China. While business and profit margins where shit, that was a huge growth market we didn't want to lose out on. While they tried copying our machines, they were simply shit at it. That was my personal problem with them: Lots of projects, but not much money and hardly any competence.Everyone who makes economic deals with the chinese will lose in the end.
Pretty much this. They will bend you over and rearrange your piping.
I think it'll be a bit more complicated.And somehow, down the road, this will be about transgender/women developers having a hard time. I would bet money on this. A KS will put her in the spotlight and trolls will emerge and suddenly she will have received hate and bigotry (but maybe it's actually just salty feedback) and suddenly everything will be about her and not about any game.
Maybe some people will poke fun at the trans thing, but I don't think there will be any "all LGBT must die" comments. However, that may very well be how someone who likes to play the victim would interpret it.I think it'll be a bit more complicated.And somehow, down the road, this will be about transgender/women developers having a hard time.

They do have some street cred from back in the days after all, and the game in question isn't some artsy shit, but (presumably) a hardcore oldschool RPG. On the other hand, they're two transgendered women, living as a family - you can't go more LGBT than that, so it's a safe be they'll receive much more than "just salty feedback". So in the end I foresee two major factions emerging: the "Who cares if they're LGBT, let them make the game" crowd and the "Who cares about the game, all LGBT must die" one.
As to what stance Heinemann would take is also up to debate. On the one hand she got quite an ego, on the other - I don't remember her indulging into SJW stuff. Maybe she'll just go "screw you haters, you're nobodies and I made some legendary stuff". But then there's the Heinemann vs Cranford controversy....
Bard's Tale III had as i believe 2 doublesided 5.25 disks and Dragon Wars had 2 3.5 dics.Rebecca Heineman can code fantastic optimized games that can be stored on a few 1.44 MB floppy discs.
Many modern "developers" don't know what a floppy disc is and use 1GB just for the intro
Nah. I think Zed is right. I missed (actively ignored) the LGBT/gamergate/womyn internet-drama of late. But from what I gathered (against my wishes), there is a distinct possibilty of another faction:I think it'll be a bit more complicated.

I predict it will basically be Shaker Kickstarter 2.0, It's gonna be awesome!
My prediction:
KS will be a rough ride, party because of Interplay/Herve but also because I don't think a lot of people even know about Dragon Wars.

She will start a Patreon or something and maybe create a webseries of Sarkeesian-eqsue youtube videos, or maybe draw comics about it. Not because she thinks these will make a difference at all, but because it's fucking easy as hell to cash in from to stupid LGBT sympathizers (and for the record, I am a LGBT sympathizer, just not a stupid one).
Yeah, this could actually be good with Jaquays being involved, but there is no way that Herve gets any money from me.Crap... money to Herve? Man, Jesus could come back and get everyone to heaven, if Herve gone too, I would prefer to go to hell instead. Sorry Rebecca but if you didn't even done some research on the reputation of Herve and how many people see him, I don't think you have what it takes for this kickstarter.
So Herve stole something from you? Or raped you or your mama or someone in your family? Show me where he did touch you. Or did the bad french man hit you somewhere.Yeah, this could actually be good with Jaquays being involved, but there is no way that Herve gets any money from me.
If i would be Herve, i would cry and curse the day that i have bought up Interplay and invested so much money into it. No i have a more healthy attitude at this topic.Darkstone is Herve Caen?
