Is it really so hard to understand that his point is saying that the whole "money first" agenda is actually what keeps things running?
He isn't blaming Sega, if anything he is blaming life and how our world revolves arounds money.

I mean seriously, is it really that hard to just read what he is saying.

Mind you I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with his blog, actually he isn't writing for people to agree or not, but most people just glance over the words and read whatever they want not even making the smallest effort to understand what he is saying.

Diversion? Are you serious? By maintaining this blog he is not only putting his face out there to be bashed by senseless accusations but most of all he is keeping the argument alive. This is paradise for neurotic people that need the fix of beloging to a group that bashes on something (not you, just in general)

Anyway to me the part of the blog that stands out is when he said "occasionally successfully!". This is something that just seems to slip by most people. Making big complex strategy games, especially one of the scope of TW series, is not science. This is not a car, it is a colective artistic work. It is a combination of ideas translated to computer code. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't work so well.

Either way I think making a post here is basically pointless since the crowd will always scream and shout when it comes to bashing something together on the internet.

If it ever calms down a bit it might actually see that ETW is a very ambitious game that was unfortunatly rushed. That's it, no conspiracy theories. Not the end of the world, nobody is going to die because of this. The game after all it's patches is actually quite nice if you ask me and totally worth my time and money, but hey...that's me.


Woah! Thanks to Gollum and Alexander the Pretty Good for fielding this one before me...

However, as far as I'm concerned kayapó, for saying the following, you lose all right to pass judgment on my view:

What conspiracy theories are you harping on about? The simple fact is ETW was sold (1.0) as a product which did not live up to the expectations that had been built for it. CA seem to have had difficulty accepting that people have a right to be disapointed with them -and I'm sure SEGA gave them a kicking for it.

Business is business. A company that aims high and fails to deliver will end up the same way as one that aims low and doesn't deliver. It's a harsh reality and SEGA are probably not people to take business lightly. Personaly, I don't care who makes the products I buy, as long as they deliver.

But anyway, this is where our understanding differs, or where you have already been through the experience and learned from it -as you waited, and then bought ETW at 1.4. Had ETW 1.5 been released in March 09, I would not have been disapointed and you would not need to be so provocative.
