Shmoopie Kerfuffle

Stoot said this was his decision. Several things pointed to the fact that none of the other devs knew until shortly before the announcement was made to us. Example: I was invited to be a guide the day before closing was announced. Whoever was responsible for sending me that message obviously didn't know. I think Stoot decided that the other project he was already working promised to be more lucretive. He's a businessman. So that combined with the problems with Flash contributed to his decision.

    I know, i guess its just Im more perplexed than mad about the whole situation. As good as they treated us in how they closed the game, why it was closed was sudden and completely unexpected. That and I'm not the type to just give up when things get difficult, I'd try absolutely everything i could first, nor would I keep people in the dark when its going to affect them. The whole thing seems too throwing in the towel-ish, and "this is my project so its my burden, to make it work, and its ONLY my burden" ...pride issues. And yes, i am a bit disgruntled, and bitter at this point, it does still get me upset.

My thoughts exactly. TS still had money, therefore all the options were not yet exhausted. It was honorable of them to offer refunds, but let's be honest with ourselves? Would the vast majority of Glitchen out there have wanted their money back, or a shot at keeping open that which we loved so dearly?

    Agreed. When i said kept in the dark i was meaning primarily the staff, more so than the players. All the same, its really hard to imagine all options had been exhausted, i just cant feasibly see where that conclusion came from....i mean serioulsy....WHERE?

    I'd rather have had Glitch back. But I took my money because it seemed as though there was no returning for the game. Plus I needed that money badly.

    I agree. They still had money- I think they should have used it to keep going through beta, and advertise heavily for launch. Only after the game had been launched and advertised for a while should they have determined if there was a large enough player base to support it. But then again, I'm no expert on any of this.

    i'm sure there where other problems (technically) too not only the number of people.
