Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

What surprises me is that Zynga still hasn't tried making actual characters to market.
Fuck-ton of HUGE sporting events coming up in Europe land, enough to eat into ones entertainment dollars I'd imagine so opening these huge films over there early seemed to be the way to maximize their profits.
Bah...
Hollywood doesnt care about Euro sales.
Also, that is... Is there nothing else out and people have money to burn?
Think I need to go to D&D's film thread for this conversation.
"Have you seen the kind of bullshit this guy gets away with? We could make anything and we'd never get fired! And it never has to be any good!"
Also, it's a real pity he figured out he was wasting 75% of his day doing nothing. Now he'll have that much more time to spend blowing smoke up people's asses about the ideas he never executes.
Molyneux is like the AntiNewell: too full of his own bullshit to let minor things like quality or reality to get in the way of his legend.
Did Molyneux kill your dog?
edit to add substance: Do you expect him to be working on a project worth millions of dollars and tell people the experience will be average? If you don't like him or the products don't read the articles about him or buy the games. He's doing what he's supposed to.
If you read the Giant Bomb article that one is cannibalizing he explains more about why he's excited to work in a smaller studio. I think he's an alright guy and you seem pretty hostile.

"You can only begin to imagine what that’s like when you’re working with a team of 150 people, where you’re so abstracted from the actual code phase of implementation that you’d literally explain an idea to someone, who explains it to a team of people, who then explains it to a team of people, and by the end, you think, “Who thought of that idea? It certainly wasn’t me.”"
Well......
It's not, in reality, a stupid IP to license, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the new game, and everything to do with the mass awareness it garnered well over a decade ago.

There's also the fact that the new MK was such a success that it covered all the costs involved in Warner Brothers acquiring Midway in the first place. So it was a success in every sense of the word for Netherrealm.
