Swen Vincke did that too though.
The goal of Fig seems to be to extend the (presumed) funding ceiling of Kickstarter.
I guess Feargus really has his heart set on that episodic Skyrim thing.
Feargus is running an independent, middle sized RPG studio for 12 years, on a market where these kind of studios are either going bankrupt in a few years, or are bought out by big publishers. They had layoffs, cancelled projects, being fucked over by publishers, they were given shitty QA, unfair press, and they are still kicking and making good RPGs. Feargus is doing a hell good of a job running this company.Obsidian has nearly gone bankrupt more than once under Feargus's leadership,
I'd say we've been extraordinary lucky with how well the RPG Kickstarters have been run. It could have been worse, oh so much worse. Look at the adventure games. Look at strategy games like Planetary Annihilation. Feargus and Brian are doing a good job.
EA is running for longer... just saying. Maybe that thing of "Living long enough to become the villain." it's true.Feargus is running an independent, middle sized RPG studio for 12 years.

Read the whole sentence. I was saying that he is running a studio which by all account should have go bust a long time ago in this market enviroment. He is doing a good job.EA is running for longer... just saying. Maybe that thing of "Living long enough to become the villain." it's true.
Fuck off and read my original post instead of bringin up pictures without nowing the context.
who have played it
Well regardless of what you think of it as a game, it's a damn good contract. Keeping over a hundred people employed and all.

At the end of the day, I simply don't believe that there are hordes of people with big pools of cash sitting around wanting to invest it games. Certainly we've never seen any venture capitalist having a punt. It's just too risky and the returns are too small. Crowdfunding worked because people were willing to throw small sums of money at doubtful endeavours if it meant they might get to play the types of games they love, but that publishers are neglecting. When it comes to more serious sums of money and cold calculation of what you're actually going to get in return, games just aren't going to make the cut as investment opportunities.
Well you could always ask to be moved to a CRPG project if you ask.
Except that AW is not shovelware and it is shaping up to be a nice tank MMO.I would be extremely depressed joining one of the best RPG making companies in the world only to work on Russian Shovel Ware.
I don't like the game = it is shit.
I seriously doubt it.
Well, if -you- seriously doubt it... I mean shit, what else do we need?
Can we get a front page for all this insider info that's trickling through?
