Whoops. From super-hyped to super-bankrupt. Perhaps one day developers and their financial backers will figure out that shiny bows and fancy wrapping can't cover up the mess inside the box.

Originally posted by Panther2103 Ahh, so you're the one. Seriously though, the hype over this game was silly and it completely died. I had forgotten about this game until now so it must not be that great. "Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it.

Originally posted by Zekiah Naw they won't relize it anytime soon diablo 3 is a prime example of it, pretty game but thats about all it has, I'd rather play diablo 2 or torchlight 2, both are vastly superior games. Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either: A. Proven right (if something bad happens) or B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens) Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime! |

Originally posted by orbitxo The game is fine. The management of 38 studios is most certainly not fine. Whatever shots the leadership of that company gets, they deserve. Shilling included. |

Originally posted by orbitxo Well, I wasn't fortunate enough to accomplish a bankruptcy this year. However, I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

its a game no game last for long you buy then get rid of them in a year paying for online games in this day in age is about as smart as asking to be tossed off a cliff new games come out every year all the same stuff over and over no one cares what games go bankrupt since there will be a new one with the same crap 2 months later |

Its sad indeed. Personal implications are always sad. It is also sad for all of those people who lost some of their pension over the bad investment and poor financial govenrnance their local government did. I wonder if the bank there should get anything before the tax payers. |

I liked it, too. Best ever? No, not even the best of the year (and possibly not even the best of the month), but I'm not sorry I bought it new. I had fun playing through it a few times, and I'm sure I'll play through it again at a later date. Yes, parts of it could've been better (the quests and npcs felt sort of soulless, and crafting was utterly broken), but those are things they could've improved upon in a sequel. We'll never know now, though.
In any case, 38 Studios didn't die because of KoA, it died because of Copernicus. KoA wasn't the success they'd hoped for, but it wasn't a company-killer, either. It's really unfortunate - Curt's one of us, not some corporate villain. The man loves games, which is why he spent so much of his own money on 38 Studios. With his playing days behind him, he had a lot riding on this. I'm really sorry things went so badly for him and everyone involved.

It just makes me think that a lot of those people over rn 38 Studios were severely overpaid. How do you go bankrupt when your game sells over a million copies ? |

Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody the power, the other to crave it. |

Originally posted by Mephster When it doesn't cover production costs. The game was a fun game to play though. It is unfortunate and it happens. You never like to hear or read about somebody have to go through something like this, including all those that worked for 38 Studios and their families. |
