That's awesome news!

For the uninitiated: think dungeon crawler with all the creative flexibility of modern (good) immersive sims.

It won't be. Just a penny shy of $20. ;)

No, it's just a PS4/XOne/PC multiplat atm. Was a Kickstarter game originally now being published by Gearbox.

Well...it did have more attention from the Xbox camp after last year's E3 conference; however, it's tacitly understood by any fans/fanboys that MS really had no say on THIS game's result. All behind-the-scenes stuff was agreed upon by Compulsion & Gearbox before the 1st party announcement though.

I appreciate you mentioning that. I'll update the title.

Titled "Curb Stomping My Reputation," I imagine.

Believe it or not, I'd say there's two positives to extrapolate:

-Some of their biggest weaknesses can be immediately addressed (launch issues due to lacking resources + manpower)

-Reliance on a greenlight from publisher (sticking TO said plan/timelines) rather than any type of about-face on their current project's overarching structure. The We Happy Few we see today is a different beast from what Kickstarter backers initially viewed--in resp...

No offense man."

Well I appreciate having the last word! :P

I apologize if these later comments just came off and overwhelming, but I felt compelled to cover every potential hole before it arises. It's just how I get sometimes.

@Cyber

The question then becomes: why should the seller be forced--by the potential of financial ruin--to intentionally devalue his own property to appease Bethesda? It's not a tough cookie to crack for anyone familiar with the second-hand market: unopened by seller qualifies as "New" to the vast majority of people b/c that's the condition it's in.

"Yep, turns out the seller is just a liar, trying...

-"Your reply to this is typically implying that the idea of DCage being unfairly pilloried by the press is ridiculous and anyone trying to suggest it is 'defending' him in some sort of fanboyism I reckon Right?"

It all depends on the context at the end of the day, right? If you recall from my previous comment, I did specify one review that would fit your characterization of him being pilloried by the gaming press. That was the D:BH review from Slant Mag....

-Well...yes and no. Your response did make me double-back to realize Polygon had updated the article twice since I recall seeing it (which I do appreciate). Mentally speaking? I just splashed "used game market" to reflect the initial title whereas my mind's placing this under the umbrella of the second-hand market in general. The two are just interchangeable to me.

In truth, you should be able to spot the fine print about a warranty on the back of the box, the manual, or elsewhere when purchasing new. The issue is the absurdity of claiming it being purchased w/out warranty makes it somehow "materially unoriginal" (or whatever legalese they want to employ).

"Such purchases without said warranty aren't under the First Sale Doctrine"

Casual response to Bethesda: Ummm...the ENTIRE premise of ...

You're kinda dulling the sarcastic tone of my first comment. :P

"Bethesda’s letter claims that Hupp’s sale is not protected by the First Sale Doctrine, because he is not selling the game in its original form, which would include a warranty. The letter says this lack of warranty renders the game “materially different from genuine products” that are sold through official channels."

BREAKING NEWS: Bethesda has just discovered the used game market?

-"Yes I have no doubt people turn whatever he says into hate while OBJECTIVELY the same sentence utterred by anyone else would be respected."

I've gotta ask honestly: what's with presenting this guy with such a victim mentality? You're starting off this response with such a weepy presentation as though journalists are only dog-piling on him for the sake of it. That's...not totally disingenuous but overly dramatic--at the least.

Newspapers have done reviews for a long time now.

"Can someone explain why the journalists seemi to have this Cage obsession?"

I'll do my best.

1.) He's been pretty open about tying himself to Quantic Dream since the studio got real spotlight. The guy OPENLY stated "judge me by my work" surrounding this recent employer scandal. Why should journalists be excoriated all of a sudden for taking a grown man at his word and doing just as he suggested?

2.) He...

I'd worry about the level of crunch the team would experience in that sort of timeframe tbh.

@-Foxtrot

Let's be honest: you're more interested in spurning your own twisted interpretation than making a level-headed, cogent articulation. Funnily enough, his following statement actually touched on this:

"We’ve got to understand that if we enjoy those games, the business opportunity has to be there for them. I love story-based games. I just finished [LucasArts-inspired RPG] Thimbleweed Park – I thought it was...

So...it's pretty clear some of these responses aren't really made in good faith or are twisting my point. So I'll try to handle as many of these comments together.

@Apocalypse

-Erm...kinda? It's weird how you conjure up that the notion that he's "changing the narrative" when that quote is coming from a question fielded to him. The context for his response seems pretty appropriate. Companies trying to change the industry...
