This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Though I owe GMS less than nothing, I really wish he would just give up or give away Far West at this point. Its never going to recover as a product and the harm it seems to be causing him is tragic to behold.

What harm?  He's still getting work.

I am only going by observation but it seems to me that GMS suffers from some form of depression which is also likely to be a contributing factor to his inability to get work done. He also seems to have problems with interaction of social media that borders on addiction. Finally, he seems to suffer from continual physical ailments that stress no doubt contributes to.

Personally, I would like to see Far West simply disappear from the interwebs and think GMS would be better of for it too.

I think if only he could get some time management tips from James Maliszewski, everything would work out just wonderfully.

Maybe he could sell the project to Autarch. Mr Macris, at least, has proven he can resuscitate a failed project and bring it to fruition.

Hey Warpig, looked at your blog.  Calvin and Muad'dib is one of the greatest sites in existence.

Why should someone else have to bail out a guy whos stalled not for months, but YEARS?

This is not like the Doom that came to Atlantic City incident where the designer and artist were effectively ripped off by the publisher and Cryptozoic stepped in and helped them out.

Easy there. It was a joke, a sarcastic comment which contrasted the proven track record of a company who can deliver on plans and an individual who has had 6 years to do so, but utterly failed.

Nobody's saying Autarch HAS to do anything.

Yes, he did, but at this point I think GMS would need to pay Autarch, not the other way around.

How one Kickstarter f**kup made good on thousands of botched orders for razors, in just one year: How My Kickstarter Blew Up My Life

GMS could maybe learn a lesson from this guy.

First it would mean that GMS has to admit to doing it wrong.

I think by now he'd learn more from tutorial on filling out Chapter 7.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed
