Getting Worried...

[yellowpaco]

Now, this game has so much potential for a third party game but what if this gets too well known that it takes the attention of some corporation that ruins everything this small community has built up.

I've heard of several small games that get eliminated (bought off)off the bat because it had some potential to challenge their company's games. When that happens those innocent games begin to have some problems it never had before. (Perfect example: Westwood's Command and Conquer old school game that had a horrible accident...)

So I'm just wondering what will happen to this game in the future since this game is getting quite good reviews from sites. That will slowly build up attention..so I'm not sure if this attention is good or bad.

We can only hope for the best. I really can't imagine a scenario like that. Even if so ... there will still be mods out there. But I wouldn't worry if I were you. Enjoy while you still can

Dont worry, its Armagan we are talking about here not some random person.

Yeah if EA does take over..... Well something bad will happen to their president....

 

[Lamjose]

Yeah if EA does take over.....

They already tried once. A couple of admin left because they were disgusted with the change and the whole forum got really shook up. It settled back down eventually but things were touch and go for a bit. Twas a dark time.

Assuming all three of us don't really know Armagan, that's a nice point you have there. 

What happened actually to Westwood's Command and Conquer?

Arghhh. I type too slow.

Is it possible to find some thread about that? I didn't knew about that really.

Are Taleworlds shares even for sale?

To clarify for others who don't know, he is referring to an April Fools joke we pulled in which EA was supposedly taking over.

No. It's privately owned and operated (by Armagan, I should imagine).

Janus, you should have let that go for at lest a day! Oh well.

...If I am thinking of the same thing you are, that was an April Fool's joke. 

edit:  Yeah, I should read the whole thread before jumping on a post like that.

I'm actually glad some of you understood this. Thanks you guys

EA also bought (and took off the market) The game Nox by Westwood. I happen to have the CDs, and It is a superb game. but now, It impossible to buy, exept off Ebay. The multiplayer still works, but most games are in Asia.

Brilliant!  Where's a link to the thread?

 

[Merentha]

Its not one thread.  It was several, and events unfolded throughout the day.  Its the same April Fools' where Ingo and I were made fake admins.

Here's the main one related to it:

Oh, and my mistake, it was Sony rather than EA that had supposedly bought out the rights to M&B.

 

[Will Greaves]

Well, make it Electronic Arts next time, then.  It's much funnier if it's E.A., because Sony hasn't nearly as great of a history of shafting the developers and the customers as E.A. does.

 

[Dryvus]

No, Sony is funny because it implies M&B is switching over to console.

 

[Will Greaves]

Hmm.  There is truth in what you say.

 

[Darian]

EA would go multi-platform, though. There would be M&B versions on everything from the PS3 to the GBA!
