Basically, take half of the hard drive video and put it into a blog..it's a terrible article but it's pretty amusing.

The biggest failure in the recent past is this assumption that the audience is not smart.Too much effort is being spent making it dummy proof..all the clues are being held right in front of their nose.The exploration and journey is the reward

Got mentioned in Slashdot again today.
http://games.slashdot.org/story/12/05/1 ... rter-games
"The recently funded Wasteland 2 developer Brian Fargo applauds EA's move, saying, 'Having Origin waive their distribution fees for 90 days for fan funded games is a major economic bonus for small developers. We look forward to bringing Wasteland 2 to the Origin audience.'"
Indeed, the winds of change are strong.

So, do we still get the DRM free version of the Game, or is that one out of the Window with the Origin Crap?

How is it possible to not understand that they will distribute the game on Origin among others?...
And how does it make any sense to assume that they would retract their engagement just to give exclusivity to that plateform for no reason?

What will change the world in the first place is not what we will do, but what we will refuse to do yet...

It was inevitable that EA would find their greasy way in. Scumbags. I was just hoping it wasn't going to be distribution.vadrick wrote:Got mentioned in Slashdot again today.

Gather Your Party interviews Chris Avellone mostly on his work on Fallout/New Vegas DLC, but some Wasteland 2/Kickstarter talk as well.
GameInformer interviews Brian Fargo, not much news there but worth a read.

At best they got an Interview with Brian, at worst they are using blatant fabrication to generate publicity for themselves.
