... and some of them are lazy, and put out crap that was so obviously never playtested even once. A developer with so little regard for their craft or profession is a hack and deserves every bit of scorn they get.

If you feel that way, why are you still here? Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows?

Seriously Guys, look at what you write and think about how stupid you look for still playing 40k.

My GW spend is net negative over the past few years.

Dakka, however, covers more than 40k. That's why I'm still here.

What's your excuse?

Cant forget though that it is not always fully the fault of the devs when a game gets pushed out because some bean counter needs to do payroll.

I can think of at least one dev that is 100% incompetent and pretty much caused the death of a pretty cool game.

so it is some times their fault. you just gotta dig a little deeper to figure out whats actually going on.

Sure, thought they still put their name on it... If it were "Designer X" or "Alan Smithee", that'd be different!

Dang,I should totally create a game company called "Alan Smithee Presents...."
