Hunt Down The Creator?

[KEGIC]

I know someone probably already answered this somewhere but the question remains.

Berkan “Frank” Denizyaran.
-where is he?

Seems like someone got cold feet and disappeared faster than Gabe Newell’s promise on Hl3. Did he take the money and run? Hiding from the reviewers and very people who played the game and letting the dev team answer for his failures as a director?

I’m guessing we won’t see or hear a word from him for a while, until the heat dies down.

Move over Carmen Sandiego, it's time for Where In The World is Berkan Denizyaran?

On a serious note, I thought Berkan and Frank where two different people... They're actually the same person?!
Still a better plot twist than the game's, though.

He doesn't communicate outside of discord, and even then he hardly appears on there. So uh, maybe? If that were the case then I genuinely feel bad for the team, they're stuck with the disaster he left behind.

Hunt down the struggling debt

He prolly got raided by the Combine FBI for ruining the series.

Thing is, your first game can also be your last. Now that Berkan has a reputation for not understanding Half Life and being horrible to the fan base, no one is going to want to hire him nor buy anything that he’s involved in. In a way, I think he might as well ruined his career in game development and filmmaking.

I’m not a businessman/game developer or anything, but if you charge people money for a product that you refused to get different opinions on during development and never tested it, chances are you will not succeed. It’s common sense.

He didn't run with the money because there is no money left after the release, they didn't even make back their expenses, Frank is not in debt, but there is no gain to be made from the game.

Except for all the freelance developers, modellers, mapmakers and voice actors he left unpaid. Yeah, no debt.

Yep that’s true. Massive debt hurts worse than stubbing a toe.

As soon as HDTF came out he made his steam profile private.

Prolly not to have people rip him apart in his profile comments.

That can be disabled but ya'know, whatever.

Did Berkan go back to Turkey? If he did then he's won, he has successfully escaped with his life
