Crazy shit indeed, only why is it all about homoerotic sex? Why can’t it be Willow making out with She-Ra or some other great plot lines. Not weird enough? How about Dr. Doom raping Josie and the Pussycats?

Alex St. John predicts “The end of the games console era”

CEO of Wild Tangent predicts the end of consoles, oh and he pushes his strangely Phantom like box. Also here’s a good quote “A large part of St. John’s argument centers on piracy and the emergence of community based games on the PC such as World of Warcraft.” There it is again, scare tactics, piracy & WoW gotta love it. Here’s one even better “His prediction is that by 2020 the market will be dominated by online community based games. The PC will be the dominant platform. It will be monetised by microcurrency, advertising and subscriptions. And that you probably won’t see another generation of consoles, because there will not be the economics to justify the investment.” Man this guy is all doom and gloom and don’t most Anti-Spayware apps warn you about having Wild Tangent installed? Yeah I thought so.

Bill Roper talks why Flagship went down

Part of it was because we overreached, and that was a design problem that was totally our fault. We tried to do too much. We tried to be a standalone game and a free-play game and an MMO and an RPG and a shooter. We were trying to be something for everybody and ended up really not pleasing many people at all….

Finally an honest person not blaming piracy and other shit out there. It’s simple, they banked too much on a game that was just not possible for their studio. The idea was there, the work was there but it never came together and they suffered. I think more studios need to learn from this, not every game you make is going to be triple platinum uber-seller. Sometimes those chances you take pay off big and sometimes you fail but fail with some dignity just as Flagship has done. I wish them all the best of luck and can’t wait to see what happens when their talent reappears in the games market.
