Kickstarter was shit and it was amazing we even got some few (a very small number) of good games out of that. On the other hand, it gave us some of the best dramas that not even modders can give.

I see. The reason why the game is going so slow is because he's been developing the redemption story IRL and has yet to get to the arc where he starts to redeem himself.

For an industry parallel of this dude, David Allen and how he fucked up the Mordor 2/Infinite Worlds/Demise: Rise of the Ku'tan publishing deal with Interplay in the same way. Three titles, same game, the middle era of Infinite Worlds being when Interplay had communication problems with him, to put the problems briefly. He claimed Interplay management talked to him with less frequency than they talked with me.

The other industry parallel might be as the straight Max Phipps who ruined production of the Australian-themed Wizardry game... (the man who made Cleveland Mark Blakemore lose his sanity rediscover his Neanderthal superpowers.)

I'm not a total hater of Corv. Let me explain. There is some Sigma Grindset here that works in some great funny. (Not the ex-wife part.)

If you were castigated from the Shroud of the Avatar community because those still faithful to Lord British were doing their keeping up appearances by burning the heretics, what better way to get back at them? Using their own cargo cult of personality icon against them? Taking their money to string them along in updates as empty as the single-player development for Shroud? Having them make the same excuses for your "development problems" as they once did for Richard Garriott?

Corv went from critic on Reddit to deleting all his posts and somehow cozying up to the same guy he was roasting for years. Imagine if I were to suddenly announce RG on anything I was involved with. Right? That's how hard he flipped from critic to collaborator.

All it took was Lord British's endorsement and the bait was ready to be bitten. It was bitten: the same people who once loathed Corv and what he wrote were now giving him money and hanging on his every word. Now they are defending HIS act like they once, and still, follow RG.

Corven was actually quite brilliant in that regard. Get Lord Dicked, nerds! (Again.) :lol:

It was a team of two or three people claiming to make a AA RPG that was basically a new Ultima in their fucking spare time and they gave money to that.

Anyone who lost anything deserved it at this point, and actually bought a life lesson.
People showered HBS with cash for that abortion of a game of trannies. Human beings are not smart or learning animals.

You know the impression I get every time you post here? It's that you're batshit crazy. He may very well be an asshole and he may have done you wrong but you need to put the wine glass down and sign up for some sort of online dating service and get laid.

He should have asked for a new computer, graphics card, and big ass screen and said it was for making Corven.
