Brad: "I still see a 500k+ game, I was just off by a year for a variety of reasons"
Trans: I couldn't get enough ignorant asshats to buy into another of my incomplete games due to those jerkoff NDA breakers who warned the rest I'd be using their subscription money to finish existing content like the bad habit it is. [Insert infamous disclaimer about how a MMOG is never done excuse here]
Cesspit: "I don't know, if this was politics the best thing you could do is to admit you were wrong and failed."
Instead, he clearly stated that the transition to SOE bought him the time needed to release a game when it was done. Then he stated that he suddenly ran out of money even with SOE and over a $30M budget. Another lame excuse to finish content on the subscriber dime once again.
The latest pity campaign is just more of the same. He wants people to continue funneling out money until 2008 where he will then charge for a semi-bug-fixed expansion as a thank you gift. How else can he afford to fill his own pockets and drive around in the latest Ferrari?
It would be one thing if gamers were only spending around $100 to learn another one of his historical lessons, but here you had consumers standing to invest thousands on equipment that wasn't going to do them any damn good.
Gamers were warned by fellow gamers. They took a good heaping of grief to tell the truth despite gaining absolutely nothing for their trouble except implied lawsuits from McQuaid. While in the meantime, hundreds opened up their naive wallets yet thousands were spared in the long run. Oh well, you can't save 'em all.
It's blogs and boards like these who I'd much rather give my support and gratitude. If it were not for you, I would have been sucked in big time. It's probably not said enough. We appreciate all you do!
