What drug is MCA taking?

He's taking the piss out of the game's marketing.
Click to expand...

I don't fully get it though. The marketing of the game doesn't rely on promoting the size of the maps or quality of the story at all. Even downplaying/claryfing the first via multiple sources (social media and interviews) and barely mentioning or praising the second, instead focusing on mechanics.
So, is he taking the piss at Obsidian or ?

MCA is playing multi-universe 9-D chess.

It's pure sarcasm in those tweets, fairly obvious.

Of course he's also probably looking forward to the game as well but I doubt he's as excited as your average gamer.
It seems to me that most longtime working devs/writers in the industry don't really play games all that much aside from some quick casual stuff on occassion.

MCA was giving advice to never talk shit about former employer, or coworkers since the industry is surprisingly small and connected and being problematic will get you blacklisted.

It seems to me that he is no longer interested in working in the industry beyond being a human stretch goal for indie kickstarters.

He found out that there are countries eastward from merica. The industry is small if you just stay in the circle jerk California.

If loyalty is universally valued more than talent and professionalism, your whole industry is on its way to trash bin... or already there.

They can prolong the experience by accelerating away to slow their descent, but only up to a limit.

Interesting how quickly Obsidiots towed the party line on MCA, having spent years sycophantically tongue-bathing his balls, or how Obshitian's hallowed independence from evil backstabbing money-grubbing publishers is no longer de rigueur because all that corporate lucre will finally free the company from dirty unwashed Kickstarter backers and allow them to realize their creative ambitions with a proper AAA budget. I applaud you lads for your commitment to the company and unimpeachable loyalty to Feargus.
