Guys, this may come as a shock, but game development companies don't write games for people to enjoy. <smile> They write games for people to buy, and then sequels for people to buy again, and so on…
the game is merely a product, and it takes product to make money. the company's main interest is to make money, and more specifically, clear profit. Without that, its pointless for the company to exist, if it can at all… Sure, there are people within those companies who genuinely enjoy their work and do want people to enjoy the experience of using the product, but the company as a whole only wants people to enjoy the product so that either more will buy it or the original owners will buy accessories or derivative works. <smile> Very sorry to burst your bubble here, but this is the way the capitalist world works. lol!… this is one reason that developers in this community really should be given a whole lot more credit / respect / understanding than they actually seem to get. These people *DO* care about people enjoying their games and don't simply view them as product for consumers. they do however live in the same capitalist model in the sense that we all need to make a living, so all of the good intentions in the world still need to be supplemented with a healthy dose of food on the table! … <smile> Catch my meaning?… Have a great evening and catch y'all on the flip!… Smiles, Cara :) On Feb 10, 2008, at 7:02 PM, Bryan wrote: > A mainstream dev isn't going to care about that.
