Quoting: hummer010Let's see, they received 8X the funding they were looking for, and with all that extra money, managed to release the end of the game only 30 months late.
...You say that as if an increased budget, and with it an increased scope, means faster developement. That's not how it works.
Nope, I'm saying their project management skills are awful. In my world, if I'm only 50% complete, 14 months late, and I've already burned through 8X my initial funding request, I'm fired.

Quoting: fleskI can understand people being disappointed about Spacebase, but I don't understand why so many people are still sore about Broken Age. Yes, it went over the initial budget, but so do 90% of every game that's being developed on a set budget. I've backed 100+ games on Kickstarter now, have been following the development of a bunch more, and delays happen all the time. You usually just don't know about it, since most games are in development for years before you even hear about them.

By the way, it's funny how people conveniently forget about Massive Chalice, when it was ON time and ON budget.
What's to be sore about with Broken Age? Let's see, they received 8X the funding they were looking for, and with all that extra money, managed to release the end of the game only 30 months late.

I'm not forgetting Massive Chalice. I'm remembering that Double Fine is 1 for 3 when it comes to kickstarter / early access games.

I don't like them odds.

Yeah ... after Broken Age and Spacebase, they absolutely won't be getting my money upfront.

This is so pathetic, I'd like to laugh ... but Larian already has my money for this game, so instead, maybe I should cry.

Quoting: WorMzyThe DE question results took another turn for the worse. :P

Openbox, i3 and i3wm should all be merged into none/custom.
Agreed. I use openbox, and I certainly don't consider it a desktop environment. It's a window manager, just like i3 and i3wm.

This is the game that taught me not to buy based on promises. I've owned this game for over a year, and have yet to play it. It's been discounted more since I bought it, so I could have had it cheaper, and I definitely regret giving Larian my money.
