And I'm talking about Role-Player here, the (ex) codex writer and newsposter. I read (elsewhere) from his hands that he is going to (kind of) retire. I didn't comment in that elsewhere, but I am going to comment here, because here was the first place I met him, in his articles and newsposts and forum posts, and whatnot. He says he doesn't think of games as he thought in the past, and he says he is going to slowly disappear from all the projects he is involved...
Dammit! Dammit, I say!
Dammit Role-Player, I'm not mad at you, you obviously made your choice and you are, obviously, free to make it, but I'm mad at whatever made you make this decision (even if even you don't know what it was), because you are a great guy who I've come to personally met and know, a guy who knows what he talks about (when he talks about it), a guy with taste, a guy with something to say when it comes to games... So dammit Role-Player, dammit because you are good, you ARE good and I hold you to higher standard, I see you as someone who has something to be proud of, as someone who did something, as someone who helped others seeing things differently, as someone who helped me to see things differently. I know we barely know eachother, but I want you to know that I see myself as a friend of yours. I see you, I read what you write and hear what you say as friend, as at least someone who has come to personally met you and I'm glad for that. What I'm not glad for is that you are quitting, is that you are forfeiting everything you've work so hard (I'm sure you did) to accomplish, your past, here and everywhere else, the marks you left, the people you influenced, the friend's you've made. So dammit.
What was it? Personal issues? The actual state of gaming? Was it Bethesda? Was it Fallout 3? Dammit Diogo, I don't even know if you're ever gonna read this (even though I'll contact you anyway), but at least tell me, tell us, at least tell us what was it that made you quit, that made you loose the flame...
Anyway, kudos for you, for all you've done, for all you've written. I'm sorry you're leaving, I'm sorry, but it's your call, and it's ok. I just wanted you to know that you'll be missed.
