Sort of Apology?
So I made a few posts on Stiveland a long, long time ago. Apparently this has caused the developer to lose artists. I don't really feel too bad about it though. I only linked to his posts, that he made. I think anybody who's going to potentially work for his company should know what they're getting themselves into.
Also, according to him, I've said some completely untrue things. I'm assuming he's talking about my comments on his Always-Online DRM policy. Back when I talked to him, that's what he communicated to his forum. I told him that it was a bad idea, because single player games shouldn't be tied to the internet. It was because I argued with him about this idea that he considered putting in an offline mode. Now I dunno, if he's changed his mind about that and has gone all offline except for his MMO but from what I remember that's what happened at the time.
I also made comments about his story writing, but really that's a matter of opinion. I could clearly see the one dimensional characters, the cliche plots, and the clear self-inserts. I know because I've written shit like that in the past and it's embarrassing. But, who knows, to somebody else, it might be their cup of tea.
I made other comments on his ideas that I thought were seriously dumb and overly complex for a first time developer. They were probably scrapped but you never know. I guess some of them were interesting.
Though... To be fair, I did make those posts in retaliation to the last argument we had. So I guess it was a bit immature and childish for me to do....Okay, I'll rephrase that, not a bit but a lot. It was very immature and childish. The name-calling in my posts (both on tumblr and on his forum) weren't okay either.
I'm pretty sure my last post on his forum was really uncalled for too. I mean I slightly remember it, and if I'm recalling it right, it was pretty offensive. Sorry about that, if you're reading this. What I did was pretty low.
