Let's all remind CBS to follow up on the eventual crash and burn of this "game", as well as the tears of its faithful customers.

Steven is known for his Sandals. He specifically made sure to wear them on TV. lol

Yup, Steven certainly knows how to market and promote his product.

I'm sure a few chat show hosts will be looking into this "amazing phenomenon" soon...

It would be cool if the big bang theory started talking about this game also :P

Heh, he said "It seems like people are throwing money at you because you're so good at what you do.".

I was waiting for a response like;
"Nope, I've never actually made a game before. There's just a bunch of dumb mother!fers in the world."

True he never made a game before, but his team has, so what's your point?

Awww...I was too late and missed your tears before the mod edited you. Maybe I'll be quick enough to collect them next time.

Oh sh!t we've got a real bad ass here...Flaming skulls and all, probably loves metallica.

Some salty sailers in here. Ashes has a great concept. Too early to tell on whether it will fail or not. Hopefully Sharif is competent in running a business.

I have to give this guy credit, he ran a really good marketing campaign, but that is his strong suit.  He has no experience in running a gaming company or making games, so that makes this whole project a big question mark. I think it is way too early to get all hyped or to trash it right now. The money is there, the ideas are there, they got some programmers too now, so time will tell if it adds up to a real game or not. I'll reserve judgement and watch from the cheap seats for a year or two.

So what's a bad ass anyways? Is it an ass that has gone bad because maybe it was left outside the fridge?

How many investors usually have experience making a game? Steven is the money guy. He has developers who have done this before that know what can and cannot be done. It's not like hes trying to develop the game in any way.

I expect Ashes OF Creation to do better than some other games I know I kinda wanted to back Idenity Online too but im unsure about it although it has a good concept I am not sure about it.

Think "Ashes OF Creation" will be better than Albion Online?

Come to think of it I don't think I have seen many Indie games or games for that matter besides maybe World OF Warcraft that actually show inside the studio, or in-depth videos of the creation of a game and such like "Ashes OF Creation".

It's an ass that drives a Trans Am.
