Here is something i cannot understand. Why would you continue to work on a highly anticipated video game for so long, But have all of this additional time to work on Porting your classic games. And to respond to shutting down any thread regarding the information or release date of the game. Almost every time i would go to check the forums on 3D Realms, George Brassard or Joe Siegel had freetime almost always to quote the words "When it's done" It almost made me wonder if they were or weren't working on the game.
Thats one way not to reply to your fanbase or people wanting to know if the game existed. It was pretty retarded and Inexcusable to have the Balls to say you are going to shut the company down and not release the game, i mean Come on! Prey was pretty lackluster, i've played that game and it was decent. But its like they kept pigeonholing and stalling. I'm pretty sure a game publisher out there could have brought this game to Light! i had some faith for 3drealms, but when they said they were shutting down. I lost complete respect for the whole team, Where did the funding come from anyway? Didn't they want the game to sale? Stop screwing around with your fans.
Ether make the game or Don't make the game, Make up your minds and give us a Dang verdict! Shoot, whats your opinion?
Edit: While it was their game, they should have given some type of sneak peak, never in the history of video games have i seen a company this gready or disloyal to their fanbase.
I think Seedofpower is right. It seems like the people at the top were simply not doing a very good job. It's likely that the "little people" were working their hearts out, but management kept asking them to do this and that and the project just got mired in bureaucracy and corporate hell
Any game that takes 12 years to even reach alpha stage deserves to be canned. Ridiculous. I can't say I even feel sorry for those who were fired - being out of a job sucks, and I often feel bad for developers who have closed (RIP Pandemic), but it's difficult to take pity on this incompetence. They didn't do their job so they lost it, plain and simple.
