Oh, you made one mildly successful indy game?
Tell me how you're a genius who will single handedly save the industry from AAA gaming.
My
god are people being incredibly arrogant and petty, jerking their knees every which way, sticking their fingers so far up their ears that they can make touch the bottom of their eyes.
Instead of, say, discussing the merits of his proposed system, which could potentially save money, all of which adds up over time, and whether or not it is appropriate for larger, triple-AAA titles, or whether the tradition of just putting up "Please don't turn off your console while saving" is becoming archaic (or a method to hopefully idiot-proof software some more), everyone is running around, using ad homeniem, attacking and bitching about the guy and his game, completely ignoring any points he's making because, "OOOH, You're so pretentious! Go back to pretentious-land you pretentious pretentiouser! Stop talking about how great you are, you sniveling pretentious asshole!" like immature,
pretentious, babies because they think they're such big men for insulting a guy who made a game and who comes off just a bit too important for the self-important internetizens of this glorious internet. Who gives two shits whether the game he made was to your tastes or not, who cares if he comes off as somewhat prententious and self-important to you,
look at the points he's making regardless of those incredibly stupid biases and look into that topic.
My
god, sometimes I think gamers can be a bunch of hickbilly neanderthals who don't understand the concept of reading comprehension and spaz out whenever something they slightly disagree with comes up. It is so. Incredibly. Frustrating.
His game was hardly a main point, just a brief mention for an example of a potentially more efficient save system, along with the mention of iOS games. Oh, but we can't mention iOS games, 'cause those games are
all scams, every single one of them, and they're horrible, and suck, and suck as games, and therefore cannot be a testament to how efficient and cost-effective this method could potentially be, even though scams are usually designed to be as efficient and cost-effective to gouge more money out of their suckers. Nope, not valid as a testament to an efficient system that saves people money, at least none of us would really know because none of us are discussing it, except for the people in this thread who have worked with computers and programing and agree with the guy.
I'd rant some more, but frankly it's pointless. I think it's safe to say that my jimies have been rustled [http://gifsforum.com/images/image/Rustled%20my%20Jimmies/grand/Rustled-my-Jimmies-eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3-1323.jpg], but it's good to have them rustled occasionally, keeps the fingers from getting tired on the keyboard.
