Would it be odd if I admitted that I have literally never even heard of Clash of Clans? I mean, I have literally not even heard the name casually in passing. Why is it suddenly a "thing" that manages to be so influential?
Jimquisition: The Unholy Trinity Of Blind Greedy Bastards
- Thread starter Jimothy Sterling
- Start date
You know, there are times when I genuinely want to either cry my eyes out or bash some skulls over at the games industry for being so blind and obviously greedy. We seriously need to share this video around so that the masses know just how commercialism is ruining every form of entertainment because of seeing their audience as nothing more than wallets - from the homogenised brown shooter games to the rebooted Hollywood films from popular franchises whose only purpose is to make the same thing again and have the gall to ask for more money for it. Seriously, thank god for you Jim, no joking.
And I'll admit I've never heard of Clash of Clans until now, which could very well be a good thing.

Clash of Clans...is it really that popular? I've seen some commercials for it, but I didn't think it was that huge.
And really, those are the only games? No Mario? Pokemon? Halo? GTA? Hell, not even Angry Birds? (say what you want about it, you can't deny its popularity) Did all of the companies behind those games just go bankrupt while I wasn't looking?

It seems both sides of that tussle missed the point of Early Access then.Strazdas said:
Though to be fair, apparently so did 90% of the market.
yes, quite clearly the whole point of early acess is missed by majority of market, but, that includes plenty of developers as well it seems sadly, which only encourages this thinking. Which is why i dont buy early acess, i dont do betas, i have enough finished games in my backlog as it is. and this was true before early acess was a thing so its not like im changing my behaviuor in any way. Though i admit i want to play Rust with my cousin (hes playing cracked one, but a legal copy can still connect to his server) so i may have to give in for this exception and buy it.Atmos Duality said:
That was bloody beautiful. Now if only the developers could find a way to break off from those CEOs and create their own independent studios or something.Jimothy Sterling said:
Great new background, that person is pretty awesome to have donated such cool and practical stuff for your show. My hats off to the person!
I wonder whatever happened to that company whom Candy Crush was trying to buy the patents to the game that predated their Candy Crush game which is trying to or was trying to get the last thing that stood in its way of total control from being any sort of whatever threat Candy Crush makers thought them to be. Supposedly some game that was made in the memory of the dude's late mother that Candy Crush company wanted to steal the rights from.
Anyhow, this game industry has been shit for years. Slapping better paint on a turd doesn't make it any less of a turd. 3DS and ps2/ps3 and Steam is all I ever needed. And honestly I barely play the ps3 outside of RPGs and fighters. DLC can rot, never supporting that.
The profiteers are always the biggest part of the problem in gaming, it seems.Strazdas said:
A statement that sadly becomes increasingly true every year.
I don't care what Mr. Sterling says: if you're doing any kind of Beta (regardless of who is paying), you need to adopt a very different attitude than if you were buying a full released game. One that includes doing your research on the state of the Beta and how/if the developers respond/work with the public that's testing their game.
Jim, you haven't seen the first Captain America?
Still, glad I never owned any games of this unholy trinity. Saw tons of adds but I buy into reviews and gameplay videos.
Even Free 2 Play doesn't appeal to me anymore. I know they're gonna just charge me money to relieve the frustrating aspects of the game. Downloaded eBooks into my iPhone to pass the time better.

No... no, no nononono!!
I have known that alot of companies are led by people that have no interest in gaming for quite a few years, but if it is true that they are also too stupid to reach out and actually ask the people that have the expertice (the developers) then we are all doomed.
I am sad
