Message: <blockquote data-quote="Franky" data-source="post: 17016">it's so hard not to comment on such stupid stuff. MS are losers? in what? in making zillion million dollars every year? and they are jealous about what? a completely different 5 dollar pinball game? People seem to forget that microsoft ignored the 4mb "bug" farsight made, they made an exception just for them - but i haven't read any "thanx microsoft" posts in here back then. Instead it's hate against microsoft for failures farsight made. To be a fan means to be objective. And as i already said in another post - if microsoft doesn't want another pinball game than there would be none.They didn't pay for the first patch $ 40.000 it's the price for the follow-up patch. Microsoft wants to avoid patching all the time, if you do it right the first or second time you don't have to pay $ 40.000. All their measures are in favor for their company (which is professional) and for the consumers (which i like very much). A pain in the a... for Developers right, but hard lessons are the best lessons. You get better and more carefully with every project you make - and thats a good thing. People all over the net complaining about bugs in games and on the other hand the complaining about a company who tries to avoid bugs by charging on constantly patching. To fit everyone's needs is an impossible thing. And one more thing about the 40K, don't forget microsoft brings a customer base of several million people - so charging quite a bit is not only normal it is just fair. Farsight is reaching millions of people because of microsoft. It's like inventing a new burger and getting the permission to sell it via mcdonalds.and stopp saying it's a ridiculous bug, because it's not. it's a quality standard - if something gets disconnected a pop up window needs to appear. there is nothing stupid about it - it's a quality frame. You think it's not necessary because it doesn't happen very often - so we don't need it anyway - what if another company thinks: "ok, it's completely irrelevant to the game to use the colors green/white - we use gold/silver for the xbox related stuff. Another company thinks, actualy it is quite unnecessary to use the color green for the "A" Button because it says "A" anyway, we use the colour purple, and on and on and on and on.....It would be a total chaos, there have to be guidlines to be sucessful and to be, and to create, a brand. All the small things are useless and unnecessary in a way but they are needed to asure quality. And the fact is, as mike said, farsight have forgotten it. So there is no need for all the hate against microsoft. Because what i've learned so far is, it takes quite a while to bring the content to the consumer but microsoft also have been very cooperative in the past.It's very funny how you guys picking out the bad stuff just to have someone else to blame and leave the good stuff unnoticed. And in terms of farsight, picking out some rare highlights and totaly fade out the bad stuff - objectivity is the key.i'm really curious to see what will happen if microsoft makes another exception on ANOTHER bug farsight made - if it will be "thanx microsoft" or "congratulations farsight".</blockquote>
