Couple of things, I wasn;t the one who directed people here, I was directed there myself by the first post in the thread
I posted a perfectly polite response stating my concerns, being a member of the Freespace 2 community, and pointing people to the SCP project, which I 'thought' might be interesting to people in a gaming related site. When you asked for clarification, I gave it, and was content with your response. I even posted a defence of you right to write the game any way you saw fit should you get the license.
I then had to sit through multiple pages of you declaring yourself the 'Alpha Male' calling this forum, which I have been a member of for 3 years now a 'Cesspit' and generally being beligerent and rude to anyone who didn't automatically accept your Messiahdom.
I had to sit and watch all Freespace 'Fanboys' bunched together, those that were rude, and I am not defending them, and those that were polite, and given stereotypes by practically
every person who agreed with you. That kind of stereotyping and assumption has already led to enough trouble wouldn't you agree?
Yes, after your quotes I personally wouldn't touch your game with someone elses bargepole, and I'll make no secret of the fact. I asked a polite question at first, and was perfectly satisfied with your response. You then went on to start slagging off fans, not
just of Freespace 2, but 'The gaming industry in general' was you exact words, you are rude, you are arrogant and you have no manners or people skills whatsoever. If a compete stranger came along and called people that you had worked alongside for years twats, would your opinion be tainted?
I point out that whilst you mentioned that
some of the posts in Avault were out of order, you went on to brand ALL people in HLP, you can deny it if you like, but calling the HLP a cesspit is not limiting your opinions to an individual.
As I said in my very first post, if you want to buy the rights to Freespace 3 and write it, good luck, I hope it sells well, since it hasn't been written I have no reason to say whether it would be a good or bad game, but I maintain my stance quite proudly, I will not be buying it, it's a tiny protest, but it's the only one I've got
Oh yes, and finally, I DO think you are slagging us off as a pre-emptive pimp for your own work, and I DO believe you worship money far more than quality, as direct quote..
'A Game doesn't have to be Great, it just has to make money'.
Your words, not mine, and words that betray the entire ideal of being a programmer.
