Company News Flagship Studios dies a sudden death

[Dire Roach]

It's not an inventory if a pirate is physically removed from nothing. Dumbass.

 

[Lumpy]

wrong.
the 'physically' word was not there originally. Simply because nothing at all is removed from the inventory.

I disagree, sir.

After doing some research, I have found this first sighting of the now famous catchphrase, in a very raw form:

Piracy is totally not stealing. After all since you aren't removing a physical object from an inventory, sine qua non, quid pro quo, non sequitur, ipso facto, it's not stealing!

Then:

Guys why are we arguing, it's not like there's anything wrong with piracy. I mean, nothing is physically being taken from an inventory.

Only to reach its refined form in May 24, 2008:

Piracy isn't wrong because nothing is physically being removed from an inventory.

Kingcomrade used it in this form as well:

Piracy isn't stealing because nothing physical is being taken from an inventory.

But the refined form was used henceforth, with minor variations, as a catchphrase, both by piracy advocated and by anti-piracy campaigners.

"Yeah, because Interplay didn't fail"

Interplay still exists...

Doesn't mean it's not a failure. You still exist after all.

 

[Volourn]

Do I?

Plus you do not know if I'm a failure as you don't even know what my goal is in my existene if I even exist?

Dumbass.

You can just fail at life in general, not just failing your goal in life. You're the former. And if you didn't exist, I'd hate to know what the real world is, because if my brain could create you, obviously the outside is much worse.

Dumbass.

No more free rides for Flagship Studios?

 

[DemonKing]

The failkure of Flagship just proves that no one has yet managed to make a Diablo-clone more popular, or even competitive with, Diablo. Asking people to actually subscribe to get all of Hellgate's features was just madness given that the game itself was lacklustre to begin with...anyone who bothered to play a beta or a demo would have realised that.

I doubt they'll be missed except by the idiots that bought lifetime subscriptions.

 

[Solaris]

Feel a bit sorry for the artists/programmers....but then again, you make your bed you lie in it I guess.

As for the management, another case of delusions of granduer....or just plain dumbfuckery

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Does anyone have that old Rex Pic no free rides?

 

[Elwro]

Curse of rex continues.

Ha! :D
Seems that now - with that Blizzard Guru site - he aims even higher. He should be sponsored by the Lineage, AoC, and other MMORPG devs because it seems the only way to stop WoW.

Also, thanks for your research, Lumpy, you should publish it in a peer reviewed journal and get government support for future scientific endeavours.

 

[Micmu]

REX MAKE fallout3guru!!!!!!!

 

[Nightjed]

heh, and in an additional blow to those poor bastards that trusted Flagship, they have been locked out of unsubscribing from the game (i wonder, is it to avoid an stampede or rather to milk subscribers an additional month ?)
