lol.. was told about this post and despite not giving a damn about Dust or CCP for that matter, figured i'd log in again and chime in. :)
It's amusing to see the same old baloney from people here. Ego's and tempers being thrown left and right, preachers, trolls and ragers.
Good 'ole Eve/Dust community... as warm, friendly and cuddly as an iron maiden.
Judge used to chat with me about the state of the game and we'd have good conversations about game mechanics.. Judge being an astute analyst and me being a game mechanics programmer within the industry too. Out of all the criticism of the game i've seen over the years, Judge's was the closest to hitting the nail on the head than anyone else.
When judge ran for CPM, we told him that we wished he'd been part of it earlier when it could have made a difference (possibly), but by the time he joined the game was pretty much done for in terms of advancement anyway. We've all been flogging a dead horse named Dust for years.
Promise after promise from CCP and rarely delivered on any. CCP.. Candied Carrot Preachers, they have always been great at delusions of grandeur. While they may have once been a great company, it's pretty obvious the talent left a long time ago. They still haven't woken up to the fact they need to catch up with the times and catch up with the industry. Sure, they can make things look pretty, but can they really produce good functionality.. pff. What they produce is lies and fluff.
Why did judge leave? I don't know for sure, but i'd certainly bet he realised that his analysis wasn't appreciated or respected by the dev's when it should have been. He most likely saw just how badly coordinated the dev teams were and figured it was pointless investing so much effort any more.
Will the new PC product be any different? .. lol, we'll see... It'll depend if CCP finally wake up to themselves and step down from the pedastal they believe themselves to be on, and join reality and the rest of the games industry again.
Did i want Dust to work? .. Yeah, do i hope their next product will work? .. yeah.. Do i think they can actually live up to their promises... no, not without major changes in how they run their company.
In the meantime i'll just pick up the popcorn and watch the drama of the death of Dust and birth of the next lies manifest. :)
Enjoy ;) |
