NovaCore went bankrupt. Rightfully so.
I don't really see what the point of the OP was to begin with, take a lot of time to write out paragraphs of nonsense that has nothing to do with Kalypso other than their being the publisher for the game.
We don't really need you to tell us what games you would buy or not from whatever company you are angry with at the moment as most gamers inform themselves before they go out and buy games that could be good or bad.
In fact if you buy a game on a whim without much knowledge of it or how it runs, then you should EXPECT to buy a crap game now and then. In the end YOU chose to buy an unfinished unsupporter buggy untested game.
Just so YOU know.
Well you obviously dont know do you? That was a load of incorrect assumption.
For one thing I didnt buy the LoP game. It wasnt properly tested and there wasnt a demo or anything else provided so I didnt buy it. I consider myself lucky.
You seem to think that Kalypso had nothing to do with the LoP being released unfinished and bugged? What dreamworld are you living in? You do know that it is usually the publisher's responsibility to test the game and market it? Also as they are providing the money for the development they are the one that decides whether to release the game or not. They forced the developer to release the game unfinished probably by stopping funding. God you hear it all the time. Why do you think David Braben went down the Kickstarter route with his new game? He was sick of publishers forcing him to design games in a certain way and release games bugged. If you dont know the facts of game development why are you on here making comments. Wise up before you do that next time.
Novacore were simply an inexperienced outfit that paid the price. I am not saying it wasnt their fault as well but they at least suffered from the whole ordeal whereas Kalypso didnt apart from losing the future custom of anyone who bought LoP probably.
I was providing information to people on here so they know what kind of firm they are buying a game from, they have a right to know that. The more lousy firms we know about the less lousy products will get released in the future.
And who are you to speak for the people on this forum anyway? Let them make their own decisions with the evidence.
...but that’s just my two cents.
Best regards,
Daan
Edit: Spelling
"You do know that it is usually the publisher's responsibility to test the game and market it?"
Really? As Daan Hugo asked "Do you blame EA for Bioware's bad releases?, or DICE for Battlefield 3 and it's issues?"
We're supposed to not assume that you didn't buy a game that you were whining was released untested?
And as a matter of fact, if you actually READ my posting, you will actually see that I never assumed that YOU bought the game!
So what are you whining about exactly if you didn't buy the game, what is your stake in it that would make you this mad?
There are plenty of other space base games that make Legends of Pegasus look like utter crap so why are you really whining out side of being a troll and wanting someone to jump on your anti-Kalypso band wagon, unjustifiably, I might add?
OP wrote: "I was providing information to people on here so they know what kind of firm they are buying a game from, they have a right to know that."
The information you provided was a personal assessment of a previous launched game that was released by a defunct and bankrupt company, that used Kalypso as its publisher.
Your opinion of the game is irrelevant to Kalypso as Kalypso did not develop the game.
Your opinion of Kalypso is irrelevant to me because you're an obvious troll that is looking to merely bash a publishing company for something that was not their doing to begin with.,
Opinions are like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, everyones got one...... Get a clue.
The same EA that was voted the worst company ever in history do you mean? That EA? The one that I will never ever buy a game off after they ruined Simcity? Yes its easy to blame the publisher because they are usually to blame. If the hat fits ....
Anyway I was pointing out an issue, I dont like firms fleecing buyers and then moving on as if nothing happened. I am not angry. I have no vendetta against Kalypso. I just believe that firms should stand by their wrongs and people should know who they are dealing with. If I was thinking of buying this game I would appreciate someone telling me this, same as if I was planning to buy WarZ (or whatever game they have changed it to to avoid the hastle from angry fans) or Dino Horde by that bloke who fleeces his staff then sacks them without payment. Bad firms like that deserve what they get and what they get is a bad name. And Kalypso has one.
So does EA, and Ubisoft, and a growing list of developers by the day. There are hundresds of games released every month by small devs who are dedicated and well meaning. And there are lots of publishers who produce well made well tested games. There is no need to buy games from lousy firms who release unfinished games with no after support. All you get from doing that is wasted money and a stomach ulcer from the hastle and frustration.
That is it that is all I have to say on the subject.
Now you have a nice day doing whatever it is you do best.
Opinions are NOT fact....
Just get Europa Universalis 4 its almost certainly better and you would be supporting a decent publisher/developer into the bargain by doing that.
Note: The publisher is (in most cases) not equal to the developer. Did you ever took a look at other Gaming Minds Studios's games? They all running smoothly and have a decent fanbase and community.... just for your interest.... but how could you know? YOU DIDN'T EVEN TRIED THESE GAMES (according to your profile), but you telling folks who liked it to play a game of a different genere, because you concider another game as 'better'?
I don't want to talk about your opinion about publishers anymore, as you clearly have "your own opinion", but talking about that "decent publisher" you mentioned: funny thing, I just tryed to visit their websites (yes, they have more than one - both found by google and wikipedia) and both of them are offline - studio and publisher...
They're vastly different games and if we're talking about blaming publishers for what a developer screws up, then Paradox should also be on your list because of Kerberos' Sword of the Stars 2. Please either develop some consistency or quit gaming.
SoTS2 was fixed though, eventually. True though it should never have been released in the state it was but at least they corrected the issue afterwards even though it took the devs several months.
Anyway there is little benefit in going over all of this - people can make up their own minds given the information, as they should. Be CAREFUL before you buy any Kalypso stuff is all I am saying.
Oh yes and NEVER buy a new game without checking the forums first, trying a demo (preferably) and viewing some online reviews. Do that and your gaming will be forever pleasant. I am sure many of the RTW2 buyers are wishing they had done some of this before they bought that game!
