Christ, LGS died a decade ago. How could it possibly be that long ago?

Looking Glass was one of those rare developers that made games because the people there simply enjoyed making games, and not one of those that just craps out uninspired shit to try to make it big in the mainstream market. The kind of developer we haven't seen in years and probably won't ever again.

There are a few of them still, but not many who actually make good games.

This type of developer will always fail unless they learn to whore themselves half of the time, make actual quality games the other half. That's probably not an option for a small studio financed by a big publisher. Fuck the industry.

No, Obsidian totally tries to make it big in the mainstream market, they're just bad at it.

I'm somewhat unclear as to how a gaming studio could REALLY die, as long as everyone involved remains alive. Short of going in and shooting everyone there in the head, it is unclear to me how you would stop them from deciding to reconvene at some later date and make a new game, if they really wanted to. Therefore, it follows that gaming studios die because the people involved are whiny slackers who quit.

They are usually closed by the publishers that own them.

ITZ here

Man, now I'm really sad

Well, as Don Henley would've put it: get over it. You fucking faggot. The fuck you crying over a bunch of people you didn't even know? You know they're alive and well, right? They just work for different companies now. That Emil guy is at Bethesda. He smokes the biggest cigars and designs the shittiest games. Fuck that guy. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Wow, someone pissed in Andy's hay this morning.

Wow, someone pissed in Andy's hay this morning.

Not only that! Someone took a big shit in my water trough! It's an outrage!

Seriously, I liked Looking Glass too but I'm not gonna cry and act like a pussy. That's for wimps and fuckbagging suckwads.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

fuckbagging suckwads.

That doesn't even make sense.

Just wanted to let you all know that this is a creepy thread.

[Luzur]

reminded me about this last day memorial, which saddened me more then the Looking Glass memorial.

They are usually closed by the publishers that own them.

Which is meaningless: The publishers don't own the PEOPLE, so if they were really committed, they could just reform themselves with the same people. That there is a business model right there. Make games until the studio is run into the ground and sacked by the publisher who now holds a gutted husk, then reform with the same group under a new flag. The players would love it. The studio itself is just a name.

That's the problem. LGS wasn't about one or two good employees working together with 200 retarded faggots. The whole team was great, or at least the majority of it was. But if you throw one of them inside Bethesda or something like that - do you really think he/she could make a difference? You can't blame Emil or even Brosius (he's working with Guitar Hero now) for that matter. What is a Captain without a functional ship (or with a crew of monkeys)?

Alright, you've convinced me. I'll start up my rocketcar and then you and I can get out there hunting for former Looking Glass employees with a lasso. Then we'll tie em all up together and make them whole again.
