Version 1.3.8 Hotfix Release Notes
Queso:
--- Quote from: Michael Wittmann on November 02, 2014, 02:09:23 am ---One more thing, What do you think is the end goal for Muse as far as being a company goes? What is the dream of all indie dev companies? To become the biggest and best and that happens to mean making the most money. Thus its inherent for muse to become "EAish" in due time.
--- End quote ---
Speaking as myself, as a student of game development, separate from my relationship with Muse Games, I can tell you that almost nobody in this industry wants to become EA. Every developer and artist has ideas for something they want to do and what they want to see happen in the industry, and I can tell you that none of them would say "I want to make the same games over and over year after year and ignore all my players and customers". Developers are passionate about their ideas to the point of insanity. People ruin their lives trying to make their ideas come to life. It's always true that some decisions developers make have to be motivated by money, but only so much that they can keep doing what they love. I've know developers that have worked on tacked on features pushed by publishers. They hate it because they aren't making things they can be proud of. Making the most money isn't the "end goal" for people in the games industry. There is a lot more money in a lot easier jobs. The end goal is to make something awesome. Sure you need money, you need to make a living, but I could go work at a software developer and do that a lot easier, so there has to be something else keeping all these people in the video game field.

OH IS THAT SO? If that is the case then you wont mind refunding Me, my three cousins, and a handful of friends. Right? Since money isn't a big concern of yours it wouldn't be a big deal to fork out of your own pocket to refund us then? Since you know you want to be as far from EA as possible you wouldn't mind doing this at all. In fact you feel obligated to refunding me right? I mean only some big bad wolf company like EA wouldn't dream of using their own pockets to refund those who demand it. ::)

So hostile. You're practically waving your fists in his face asking for your money back.
I've been hearing that another hotfix is coming up but when can we expect that? Seems the game has been changing a great deal in just a few weeks.

Listen, pal. Personally I think this patch was a great mistake. I do, you can tell from my previous posts. But implying sth like
You don't want be like EA => You don't care about money (at all!) => Give me my money back
Is just below any critique. I only hope this is just 'ad absurdum' argument, but still... Don't be THAT guy

YEAH! Damn those greedy devs who tricked you into buying their product you've only enjoyed for more than hundred hours so far for a price of less than a meal! Daylight Robbery!
