No, seriously, rack that m’fer.

read my comments “Hes the face”

I never said he wasnt taking attention.

Now answer my question. Do you really think Curt was the one actually making all these day to day decisions?

Hes just another rich celebrity who invested in a business that failed. and because hes the public name/face hes gettin crucified for it.

Curt did seemingly try to pull some dickish moves as all this was going down – trying to grab an additional $14 million in additional tax credits to stay afloat this week – but I think that was more a move to avoid default on the loan and allow himself to hold onto his intellectual property.

Unfortunately, being the poor businessman he is, he failed to incorporate a sister company in RI and was thus ineligible for the additional tax money that might have – technically – allowed him some time to recoup HIS investment – by taking even MORE taxpayer dollars.

It seems he was mad enough about the state blocking him on that, that he refused to notify them of the layoffs, perhaps out of spite.

That final move instantly placed Shilling in default, regardless of the $1.2 million he paid last week to avoid being in default.

Curt can’t be a happy camper – now I’m sure he’ll try to block the state from selling off the intellectual property they now own – which hopefully can result in some payback on a $75 million investment.

An MMO is generally a five year project, give or take. It makes perfect sense to something else along the way in the interest of cash flow.

Since Riot games had people from Warcraft 3 develop the game LOL and it was a Hit, of course Shilling can do the same. Anybody with the urge and idea can reach such heights no doubt.

Yup a couple of Indie developers…bunch of nobodies
Seriously, this is foolishness.

LOL was a legit game created by legit people who had legit successes in the field and genre

He jumped into a business he knew nothing about and his results are less than shocking.

Actual game makers can have successes, some guy who pitched for the Sox and loved slaying Murlocks, not so much.

The proof is in his embarrassing puddling

Turnabout’s fair play. But… where is he? Why isn’t he publicly addressing this?

Hes the face and an investor i doubt he made these decisions themselves yet he seems to be crucified because out of all the bigwigs at 38 studios hes the only one anyone knows who is.

Thats like saying “OMG BETHSEDA STOP MAKING SKYRIM YOULL NEVER HAVE THE SUBSCRIBERS WOW HAS”.

All companies have to start somewhere. And your attitide is counterintuitive of some of the highest sellers according to steam, most of which are indie single player games. Remember dungeon defenders?

Think before you type.

The mmo 38 studios was making is shelved. All they released was a single player game in reckoning.
