New Interview with CEO about Molyneux, 22Cans, and Godus

They had tended their resignations around the time that PM would have informed them that Godus was complete, and was now just in support & maintenance mode. Those with integrity obviously decided they wanted no part in a company that would treat its customers with such disdain. Not really surprised he didn't offer his opinion why they were choosing to leave before the shit storm (surprised why the reporter didn't question this), but just thinking about the time scales I think its safe to assume this to be the actual reason. He had a chance for a little honesty here, and missed it.

(Moved this to the discussions area.)



Lovely sentiment, but from how they've been acting they're simply doubling-down on their mistakes and questionable community management - which makes the later part of the article a real chuckle.



Why don't we just put over 9000 people on it?! Or would the hyperbole be too obvious then?

First off, they have yet to give a straight answer as to what "to get this product to where we all want it to be" really means other than stalling around.

Also, without Combat really fitting into the main game that second paragraph is hilarious.



Right-o! Time to get on it, right? First, let's start off by adding more censorship to the Steam forums, they really like that with how many replies we get whenever that happens, so let's turn up the contempt towards anyone who bought/backed the game under 22cans' false pretenses - that'll put them in the right frame of mind to be receptive of The Trail!

Whitewash, all of it, as nothing has gotten done about anything except make Peter feel better about how he's screwed people over.

Especially those Kickstarter folks who are still waiting for months for any word outside of the making of the art book "update" - speaking of which, it's almost to the two year anniversary of when the backer rewards were estimated to be delivered. I wonder if 22cans will have remembered them by then, or continue to ignore the real problems and feedback offered to 22cans while really just making Peter feel better about the whole thing.

I just thought that it'd be cleaner to have that as an archive section. All the Godus discussion in one place, all the articles, transcripts, etc. in another.

It's fine. I just don't want people to get the idea that they're not supposed to post on the article threads.

Indeed, 22cans under PM WAS business-minded - abusive shovelware business.

Without any expressed plans to change that in now two articles...looks like Peter's just found a new crony to feel better about himself and nothing really has or will change.

I've added a link back in the article thread so that in the future anyone can find their way back here

Maybe he thinks this is the official forum? LOL

That confusion would be quite understandable with how everything 22cans' moderators have enfarced has turned into a wasteland, so that this would be the more lively place by comparison.

With actual feedback and discussion about the game (see: when FuriousMoo was posting).

Speaking of moderators, remember the last time the press acquired info that 22cans was lying out their collective backsides to the backers, to which one of 22cans' moderators tried to blame the community for that happening?



Which is kind of funny when Colin trots out some numerical values about how feedback was actually...positive?

So... simon22cans colin22cans ...which is it going to be? Grasping for "feedback is positive" or some happy horseshit about how everyone is slagging you off and not throwing you repeated bones about how 22cans could improve - as they have been on this forum?
