Dead....just like the X3 economy?

Darshu · Post by **Darshu** » Thu, 22. Dec 05, 13:36

Man, do you people even sleep?

Ok, I'll admit the English thing was bad, I was trying to lighten the situation, but apparently everyone contributing to this thread has the manual crammed so far up they can't see straight!

Many of you tried to dissassemble my arguments, and tried hard, but your logic is flawed. With the car example, for example, I said if something inherently necessary for the car to run, such as brakes, were missing, you'd die. If I can start the game, play it, and encounter nothing but a few minor bugs, and yes, missing content, then logically the game is not broken, as so many claim, but just missing some items, such as OnStar, sunroof, etc. But here's the crucial point you all miss: there is no metaphor/like system for "adding" content to an aftermarket item such as a car after its purchase without adding in additional monies

We get patches with games. Its part of the industry. You cannot dispute the FACT that any game released today gets patched via the Internet. There is NO game out today that is v1.0.0 We also get free content updates, mods galore, and all sorts of other perks that the average car buyer does not get with their purchase.

Don't get me wrong, I realize that the reason some people are mad is that they did not get all that was promised. Stop for a moment and ask yourselves, "why was this game released in such a state?" Would a developer trying to build a name for itself intentionally shoot itself in the face?

The simple answer is... No. The long answer is that in the gaming industry, publishers control everything because they WRITE THE CHECKS! If Egosoft said to Enlight, hey, we're not done, we're going to have to wait until after the biggest holiday buying season of the year and after games like Oblivion have been released, Enlight would have sued Egosoft out of existence, with no chance for X4. Maybe most of you have no experience in business, but I do, and the short of it is, the guys who write the checks hold all the cards. And generally, the money guys don't care at all about the end consumer, since they get their money, AND the consumer blames the developer, so companies like Enlight look squeaky clean, or at least not at fault.

Oh, and if after this you people still are all pissy at Egosoft, then maybe you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. And I'll ignore all the blatant insults as well, since that's just plain bad. Oh and my apology earlier, I retract that, since in Star Wars (the good trilogy anyways) all the bad guys WERE English, and James Earl Jones...

He He!! Astro's gags are getting better with the impending realisation tht ther aint gonna be no patch before crimbo..
The threat to not change my underpants til we get the patch still holds good Ego!! Heres a few more starting lines: (feel free to adfd on to them/ improve them etc guys..
1) while diehards watch their threads by night, all gathered 'round the fire, the Abyys of egosoft came down and gave us nowt but lies.

2) I wish u a merry patchup, I wish u a merry..

Cant belive this post has moved as far as "James Earl Jones"

BrendanD · Post by **BrendanD** » Thu, 22. Dec 05, 13:49

Darshu, get with the times, man, I think everyone is all argued out. Now we're all in it for the gags.

I wonder, how many people are reading this thread on company time?

I know I am.

dr del · Post by **dr del** » Thu, 22. Dec 05, 13:52

well in our own defense asking egosoft for news of the patch was hardly working now was it.

our new strategy is to try and make the abyss giggle so hard when he's typing he accidently tells us something.

i vote we send in 3 models in santa suits to tickle it out of him - i shall start auditioning them now..... well as soon as someone sends me some

oh and for the record this counts as my alibi ok **looks furtively around the room**
