I heard pirate bay runs some good sales.
I heard TPB jokes were new and refreshing~
I heard that when people buy shit games they support the development of more shit games.

He's still right though, I wouldn't call any Kickstarter thing mainstream or AAA.http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=7991
Lastly, what do you think about the current direction of the cRPG genre? There seems to be a continuing trend of publishers favouring action gameplay and the removal of character statistics. Do you believe there is a market out there for modern cRPGs in a style similar to the great cRPGs of the past?
I think there’s still a place for hardcore RPGs in today’s market, yes, but I don’t think that action gameplay is necessarily at odds with that. You can very definitely have traditional RPG stats, depth, and sophistication, while still having action gameplay, and I think there’s a place for games that combine those elements in today’s marketplace.
If what you’re really asking me about is purely turn-based RPGs (i.e. no action elements at all), then I’d say yes there’s a place for it, but it’s not in the mainstream, at least not in the West (JRPGs are a different story). I doubt we’ll see another completely turn-based AAA RPG in the West. But I think there’s plenty of opportunity for them in the growing markets of tablet, phone, social, and handheld games, where costs of development (and the amount you need to sell to be successful) are considerably smaller. I’m definitely expecting to see some sweet old-school-style RPGs appearing on my iPad over the next couple of years.
Pre-Kickstarter gaming, how quaint
Who doesn't have a place now, huh?

So their MMO is now cancelled 5 days after it was revealed?That must be a new record.Too bad for all the people losing their jobs though
Edit:According to the governor of Rhode Island KoA had to sell 3 millions just to break even but it sold just 1.2 million.
3 millions,wtf were they thinking? ME3 sold about that many copies and it's a known IP from a known developer,how could a new company with a new IP sell that many copies?

In a press conference this afternoon, Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee said that the studio needed to sell three million copies of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning in order to break even, but the game ultimately sold 1.2 million. "The game failed," he added.
theyre pretty close. cause the dude is ex baseball star. base ball is a game played with a stick and ball. it seems like a big thing in USA.Why does the governor give a shit about this game dev anyway? Does he go to the same yacht club as the execs?

Apparently he also went on to say he hated all the violence and sexism in the game. I guess he lives in a plastic bubble because violence and sexism is rampant throughout all media outlets today.

Wanted to get some score from voters in hope they'll forget and forgive him for 75 million jewgold Fraud. What are the chances of seeing him behind bars for this? Also 1.2 sold copies for new IP game from unknown studio and 1/10 of adverts Skyrim got is not bad... when you make game in Potatoland or other 3rd wordia. :D

The previous governor of Rhode Island approved that loan, not the current one.
No. People working on shitty products deserve to lose their jobs.
The free market demands this.
