O rly? Read whole topic before posting, please. For me, it's mostly barking coming from some frustrated morons who can't get what lisac said long ago (see quote in my previous post). Even though he stated it extremely clearly.
And for me the post you quoted is just a piece of frustrated blabbering coming from an artist who repeatedly gives a crap performance for free and fails to realize why he's getting booed instead of being congratulated for a splendid show. It's pretty simple, nobody cares what your skills or paycheck look like until you place them in front of an audience - and when you do, you better be damn well prepared to take some criticism. Besides, it's not my fault that 2238 devs are getting a tomato to the face instead of tons of letters from hot groupies willing to have their babies for bringing them the best game ever, or at least since Tetris - I'm just making an observation, that's all.
Anyway, people have been dealing with this problem ever since a tone-deaf caveman hunter made the call to play the primitive bone-flute belonging to a caveman bard and got his motherlovin' caveman head bashed in by his angered tribe. The general consensus in our society seems to be the tribe was pretty much right given how poor, unpopular artists remain poor and unpopular.
Again, see the quote. No clients, no purchases, no hiring, no contracts. If too hard to understand, gtfo this board (and hey, they have the full right to make you gtfo, even when they just don't like ya - it's not like you have any rights here).
Actually I have the right to express my opinions here until they deny me that. I'm simply exercising that right and so is everyone else here, including you. As far as the client-purchase-contract part goes it doesn't really matter because the most important thing about entertainment (games) isn't whether it's free or costs money, it's whether it's fun or a waste of time. Bad entertainment = booing instead of clapping. No amount of banhammer or developer butthurt is going to change that, it's just how human society works.
You (as me) are not the one deciding what it is and what it is not. 2238 is what it's creators want it to be, not what you or me or others want it to be.
You're mistaking expressing an opinion for trying to take part in the decision making process. Actually, I wouldn't want to get involved with the latter on 2238 because in all honesty this project is looking more and more like an unsalvageable mess.
Basically Nice_Boat, you and several other persons in this topic should stop behaving like videogame-obsessed 12yo kids. This is just a piece of free advice, enjoy.
I'm not really keen on taking advice resulting from misinterpretation so thanks, but no thanks.
And yeah, the answer to
the inevitable question (tm) - why do I even care? Because Fallout, online, in English. And so do you, and you, and you and mostly everyone here. Otherwise we wouldn't even be having this discussion because judged on its own merits, this game is you know what, and no amount of namecalling, dev butthurt and banhammer is going to change that and so on, and so forth. Also, people love watching and talking about disasters. Anyway, no point in beating on a dead horse any further, so it's over and out from me.
