Mass banning on Godus Steam forum

Hear hear.

Maybe he can get Peter to join.

Agreed. At this point i don't personally feel it's necessary nor a wise idea. It sounds like he's where he needs to be now. 

We heard this exact same sort of thing when Konrad came on.  Like then, I just can't bring myself to repeat the same mistake again.  PM was out of the picture then, until we read between the lines that he wasn't.  All we're seeing is a new hand being dealt.  We're still collecting stickers and opening randomized chests. 

I'm willing to at least give Simon a chance since he:

A. Engaged us here on this forum.
B. Is in a position (hopefully) to make important decisions independent and contrary to Molyneux and his baffling decline into self inflicted Armageddon. 
C. He's not afraid to be cheeky and blunt (so far) with us, which is refreshing.

The way I see it, we as Godus fans/backers/bird watchers/basket weavers potentially have quite a bit to gain and not much else to lose with this "reboot" riding on the back and reputation of the new CEO. Thus far he doesn't strike me as a man that wants to go down in PR flames on the 22cans fantasy zeppelin like Molyneux did.

Time will tell.

A convention would be awesome but I could never go, oh the tyranny of distance.

I've wondered that myself, would be interesting to have a proper Q&A about the state of the game and what may or may not change.

I live in the South West and whilst it's only a 2 hour trip (give or take) to Guildford it's still quite a cost and not convinced anything would really come of it, especially now that 22Cans seem very Trail focused and there are even more indicators now that the main motivation behind the company is maximising income over all else rather than having a true motivation to drive their concepts forward.

So if it's making money, but crude and a empty shell of what it could be. That's would be classed as win. Any question of further significant development is frowned upon as why do it if it's going to change the income/investment ratio?

And not sure I'd really be able to put myself through hearing another developer talk like that directly. It's the complete polar opposite of what I feel the industry needs and what can increase the quality of what's on offer to benefit everyone involved.

There's another company I had indirect dealings with that functioned like that called Gazillion Entainment, and seeing how toxic their influence can be at the cost of entire studios, jobs and abandoning projects those working on feel deeply about because it's not in the interests of maximised profits, wouldn't want to be in the same room as a scaled down version of that.

I will give it to him that he has seem to removed the ban from talking on this forum. Nothing of substance has come of it yet but I do believe it is a good step forward to let them post on here, even if it is just fluff community building type post. But these post still reinforce to me that the rank and file canners are good guys just trying to make a living and that the problem is more at the top, not that I mean you Simon.

Well, next time, they'll shut you down the electricty.

I've just got up. Technically I'm still banned but I have an offer in my message box from Simon offering to rescind that ban. I'm assuming you are in a similar position Tikigod.
