its kinda odd aaron. every time i visit aventurine, their studio size tends to increase.
mid development buy outs are common in the industry. whenever there are indie games there are always people walking in the middle of development and prospect about buying them. its natural. sometimes you need some venture capital and your product is floated.
its natural.
why?
because everyone who works on any game is a salaried employee. there are things to factor in such as inflation and cost of living - they change over a period of time. and an individual working in a studio has personal needs that expand with change. and given the long work hours demanded in this industry, you need more incentive to stay in it.
do you know how many companies are interested in buying that oh-so-cool indie game product and put it out there? after all - games are hip. to be hip is to be innovative. to be known for such things improves your corporate portfolio .
rumors are spread - they happen all the time. if you're going to be prom queen, you're also going to have to be the biggest freaking female bully around. you're going to spread rumors - increase speculation about others so as to increase your own value. it happens.

I think you're missing the point. The point being that whoever was looking to buy DF didn't because it supposadely wasn't good enough. and if they really dropped their buy out price to 1 mill than thats a pretty desperate move and just shows that they themselves have no faith anymore in their own product.... even the gaming sites are starting to get tired of hearing about darkfall... http://df.warcry.com/news/view/71439-Editorial-Corner-Beta-Date |

I think you linked the wrong article. The one you have there is complaining (beneath a veneer of infuriating flash pop-up ads) about not hearing enough information (like, a firm beta release date) about Darkfall. Mostly it reads like "THIS JUST IN: STILL NOTHING HAPPENING WITH DARKFALL, STAY TUNED IN CASE SOMETHING DOES!" The most recent information it's referencing seems to be from January, everything else is the author's personal views. Is there maybe any real news, or anything? No? |

You're quoting a PM on an Internet forum and then discussing it as if it were true?
You guys are idiots.

Holy fuck it returns with a fantastic necropost.
Combined with grunk, I have to wonder if there's a full moon or some kind of celestial alignment going on.

Yes. I even checked his user stats. "Posts in Den: 108" "posts in MMOgaming 1" |

Maybe setting shit to prune after X time isn't a bad idea for the PC and MMOG forums (top level, not subforums).

Good thought. Has there ever really been a necro that was worth it? |

I thought that finding a thread to necro, no matter how tangentially relevant to the topic you want to post about, was part of the whole fun of f13.  |

We live in great days, bros... Grunk showing up, AW cmoing back... all we need is that disruptive marketing chucklehead to come back and we'll reach critical loon mass. Merusk must be right. i sense a syzygy.

They need MEANINGFUL PVP and Fury doesn't have it. These are dudes looking for a lifestyle, not a game.
