Great, another developer has sold out. And not just any developer; it's Warren fuckin' Spector.
Just another step on the path towards the video game industry becoming as shitty as the music and movie industry.
Hmm. Isn't that odd...? I thought people were tired of the typical Futuristic shooter with the Marty Stu protagonist trenchcoating his way through armies of bad guys. I guess the hundreds of posts on this very site decrying same-y shooters were a loud minority.

This sucks so much. Stupid casual gamers.
Yes, stupid us for consisting of 2.25 Billion dollars of the industry's marketshare. It's not our fault we don't dedicate 27 hours a day to games. Though I still fail to see how gaming casually has any bearing on this guy not wanting to make another Deus Ex clone.
Honestly I never really got into the original. Or System Shock either, for that matter.
*Pauses to allow people's hearts to restart*
Idk, it wasnt the gameplay, which was well done. I guess maybe I'm just not a fan of Cyberpunk.
You didn't look past the surface if you thought that System Shock and Deus Ex were just like all the other shooters out there.
I'll miss his games, but whatever makes the man happy. |

I just said I never got really into them. I thought they were good, well thought out games, I just didn't like the whole 1984 meets 2001 meets WRPG. |

"...warned that hardcore gamers...hardcore folks...hardcore demographic...hardcore gamer...hardcore gamers...hardcore"
I'm sorry, what? I think we're getting too far into this whole 'hardcore' thing. Us people who own 360's, PS3's and the like should be called 'regular gamers.' People who play on their iPhones and computer should be called 'softcore.' Why can us supposed 'hardcore' gamers only play any FPS where we kill five people a second? I've played Bejewled and other indie games on my phone, so am I less of a gamer? I enjoy fragging people in Halo and making houses in the Sims, so am I a paradox? No, I am a gamer.

Make a game that's actually fun with some substance, and you'll have a minimum of complaints. |

Kingdom Hearts 4: Eternal Darkness
Coming in 2010!
Comedy aside, if all he had said was:
"I love working with Disney because I'm so tired of making games about guys in black leather carrying guns," he said at the time. "I don't want to make those anymore."
Then it'd be kind of sad to see him turn his talent elsewhere, but in the end good to see him keep making games he enjoys. However the rest of that article was nothing but MOAR MONEY LOL bullshit. |

If only we had more developers doing the reverse to compensate, but it all seems to be about drifting towards the larger family market. |
