Time will tell though. Either way, it seems you guys are getting a good kick out of it. It reminds me of why I stayed out of this thread for so long, sometimes I feel you guys go a bit too far. -- But humour is humour. I just find it hard to see the funny side on this one. [yesnod] My mistake on taking this for a serious thread.
Well if I'm honest, I don't join in with a lot of what goes on in this thread, I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it honestly upsets me that people are being deliberately mis-sold a product, opinion or not, it is reality. I don't agree with some of the things that Frontier have done but deliberately misleading their customers is not one of them.
By all means if someone enjoys playing RCTW I would not have a problem with that in any way, and it's not in my interest to tell them what I think is right and what is wrong. Planet Coaster shouldn't even come into the equation for me, they are different games, and one does not have to choose sides, it just so happens I was sold on Planet Coaster and not on RCTW because I did research. The problem is, not everyone does research. There are people out there who have been misled by the RCT name; duped into buying something incomplete, but there's nothing they can do about it because Atari are still within the bounds of the law. And you may say that the misinformed buys at their own risk, but it's the fact that Atari are deliberately taking advantage of the misinformed for one reason, and one reason alone. Its not the game, it's not the customers: it's the money.
In the live stream with Steven Lumpkin, it was clear to me that he wants that game to be good, it was a good stream, he was good, the piece by piece system looked pretty good; I felt like I'd seen it before but it looked pretty good.
So just to make things clear, I am not a fan of Atari, nor am I a fan of their shoddy marketing techniques, but I do like to get a good laugh out of them, and this thread can be quite funny sometimes. I will never get involved though when it comes to flaming of individuals.
I should also add that this is by no means a dig at you JMR, I think you are a very respectable person and I've seen the work you have put in for them, and the things you do, and I can see you are trying hard to hold on to a sliver of hope. So don't give that up. [happy]
Gregor, you just need a few posts to enter the Top Ten Club!
Nearly there! [big grin]
It's very odd though that Deuce's profile says he only has 139 posts... Brett? [blah]
