This really sucks for them, but it shows that having a big budget doesn't always mean having a lot of sales or even a good game. their game sold well. it was their stupid fucking loan of 75 mil that was the mistake. | ||

For me it meant stopping after spending 40h exploring and finding nothing interesting. Which is the same way I felt about exploring in Amalur : there was tons of content, but it was all low level, irrelevant, unchallenging, samey, and really boring. I'd heard that they wanted to make the Amalur IP into movies, books, comics, whatever. Too bad it's worth nothing now. | ||

Rhode Island, in the economic slump the rest of us were/are, inticed 38 Studios to come to Rhode Island through giant preferential loans and tax credits. The company failed and now Rhode Island owns it. The first problem is it wasn't worth a fraction of what they loaned. The second problem is all of the creative developers have already jumped ship. So basically Rhode Island bought the box to a toy, the toy was broken and then the toy left to go play with a different kid. Now all Rhode Island has is an empty, soggy box that nobody wants. | ||

I'd feel bad for them if they put out an amazing game and it got ignored because it wasn't an established franchise, but if it was bad-to-mediocre it's pretty much their own fault. | ||
