1 I'm pretty sure it doesn't cost that much to get a class action suit going or if it does I'm sure 4chan would be down to pump another 30k into some fund to sue these assholes. Or the fact that the issue was found by a lawyer in the first place and is working pro bono already so I'm pretty sure he's going to see this shit through.Stark wrote:Sorry for brevity, but I'm on my phone.
1.) Suing people costs money, which indies don't have.
2.) I listen to several developer podcasts and they are sick of the recent "conspiracies are everywhere" such as the thing with Zoe Quinn. So I believe many would drop this for that too, so as not to drag it out.
3.) I didn't say there was nothing wrong with it, I'm just not sure that everyone had malicious intent; its clearly a conflict of interest.
2 That is completely irrelevant to this, unless these podcasts are by devs who got snubbed at the IGF that has zero weight on any of this at all.
3 I don't understand how having people that have a monetary interest in games they are judging isn't malicious*. Either way the IGF is probably done for, I believe it's in the judging phase or entry phase right now. As they say this is gonna be good.
*I'm going to go find my ps3 and play malicious because that game is awesome.
Edit I'm going to guess that you also don't care that steam gives the winners free promotion? Because when one game wins, it is shoved to the to front store page instead of a game that might actually have been better but isn't on the main store page because it didn't win a pyramid scheme contest. We all lose out in this. I don't understand how this wouldn't bother you.
