But even tough they straw away, they still have the nest as the fixed place they will return to, and that has a anoying unrealistic fell...

For fifty million dollars... jeez. I know what I can do with just me and GMN and the help we get (and an engine that would, according to Tobi, have cost about three million dollars+ by now, mind ye, but a lot of that would not have been necessary for a typical commercial project done to spec, imo).
Hell, give me ONE million dollars, and I'd make a great game. A small game, sure, but it'd be all right. SOSE was built around that level of a budget.
Fifty. Will it do our homework? Shine our shoes? Change our lives?
Fifty. For something that was supposedly launched because of the high cost of content.
Fifty. I could find, finance, and launch 48 game designers on 48 real projects, for that cost, use the other two million on viral marketing campaigns and websites on a common template base... and I'd probably see a better ROI in the end. Fifty.
I dunno whether I want it to succeed or fail, frankly. I like Will Wright, but I've been very skeptical about the game's premise and design, and now I'm very, very skeptical about profitability.
Fifty million dollars. For a game where people make ambulatory penises, and share the results online. I can't wait for the lawsuits to start- "your software showed my kids filthy things", etc.
Fifty

He used to do it all the time, now only sometimes, he only goes to offtopic and doesnt make threads anymore, that's what I mean.
