Curt Schilling, 38 Studios, and Rhode Island

love that their page has no sense of self-consciousness or anything about this.

just like my gf.

I went to their web page and started getting flashbacks to Morel Orel, had to click off

Help me out... what was like Moral Orel on their site?

guess he did put his fortune into that video game http://www.forbes.com/sites/zillow/2013/10/07/retired-baseball-player-curt-schilling-selling-house-home-contents-in-estate-sale

who wants to make a video game that bad damn

there are so many video games already

I feel bad for the people who lost their jobs and the people of the great state of Delaware, but on the other hand: lol

Delaware and Rhode Island are the same place to me

tough but fair

Curt Schilling ‏@gehrig38 3h

If someone were to buy Amalur, put team back on it, it's a billion dollar franchise, 2 years later and still no ones done what we were doing

it's true, I can't think of another software developer who bankrupted a state

Only one video game company put up a blood-soaked sock as collateral.

' 2 years later and still no ones done what we were doing'

Weird kinda delusion makes you make public statements like that, or sink your fortune into taking on WoW right out of the gate with a team of no MMO experience, or be a ball player who adds 'Gehrig' to his twitter handle

@williemayshayes

Gehrig is his son's name fwiw

Seriously?

Also, did KoA ever go on super sale on Steam or amazon or anywhere? I'd to actually try the game out now that all the shouting's done

he's just a really big gehrig fan, and i believe has used that handle forever on wow and message boards and stuff. it's probably the least offensive thing he's done.

A ha

diagnosed with cancer, and the fact that he doesn't want to talk specifics leads me to fear the worst :/

Game is on Steam, finally. Was on sale this weekend.

I mean, I don't even care about Schilling beyond schadenlols and I thought responding to "dude has cancer" with "plus his game came out" was cold

i took it as a pvmic but idk

It's a horrible diagnosis, but one of the things I've been curious all along is what the actual thing that effectively started all this downfall was like as a game.

I'll grant my juxtaposition could have been handled better.

Sort of. That one that actually came out was developed by another studio that got swallowed up by Shilling's studio during all this, and it was already mostly done. I believe they rebranded it to fit into their fictional universe, the main game of which never came out.

Really? IP acquisition is weird. I always thought that his studio led with the design and brought in all the nerdcult names to work on it. Like, this thing was a piece with the MMO.
