Comments on: The Corporation: a gloomy forcast for TSO http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/05/the_corporation.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Kelci http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/05/the_corporation.html/comment-page-1#comment-51451 Kelci Sun, 11 Jul 2004 19:47:18 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2865#comment-51451 Hmmm...I haven't played TSO for months now. I 'pop' in and out on occasion. The only reason I'm there at all, is my daughter. She still enjoys the game and calls on me to join her now and then. With some of the stupidest things that they ARE incorporating (I don't even have the heart to list them...LOL) I think they're really trying to dissuade any 'older' players who find these things unacceptable. I guess the 'younger' players don't seem to mind much of anything...and that's who they depend on. Coco...this is for you. When I'm on Stratics and reading 'posts', I rarely read anyone else's but yours! :") Hmmm…I haven’t played TSO for months now. I ‘pop’ in and out on occasion.

I won't be in TSO, I've left already. :-) It's sad because the game could have been good if it had been delayed somewhat, released later when it was more feature rich, allowed custom content etc., etc., etc. EA was not committed to the game and did not support the game, prolly because EA is not really committed to online gaming. It's like they tried to dip their toe in the pool of online gaming, and you can't succeed at it that way, and so they've decided to pull out of that and reconsolidate around their core console market. It makes good business sense, but it leaves some players disgruntled with EA. I doubt EA cares much, because most of these disgruntled folks are simply going to go to other online games, and really arent in the market anyway for EA's core console franchises. So I expect that Redwood City doesn't really care very much, and my guess is that the shareholders and investment analysts think that EA should cut its losses in the online gaming world and focus on higher-revenue and profit activities like the core console franchises. “Where will YOU be, when the lights go out for the final time?”

I suppose there IS such a thing as being too involved with On Line games, but for me, it has always been the people behind the avatars i wanted to meet, and to know. I have said before, i will stay in TSO until the servers are shut down around me, and i Will. I love the environment, and i always have hope that i will see some of my old friends pop in just for a look, But my prediction of TSO not lasting past the summer seems to be rapidly coming true. Maxis/EA, you have failed your subscribers, and you have failed your shareholders. This sort of failure WILL affect your future ventures. A Companies History is remembered by both game players, AND investors. You have shot yourself in the foot. Second Life Awaits, with Developers who meet directly with players In Game, and a more creative game environment. I will be with my toy, and other friends are getting ready for the switch as well, so i will have some continuity. I have recreated my home, and the homes of friends in the Off line game, so i won't lose what i have created. I will miss my friends, and lovers, i will miss the environment, but i Won't miss Maxis/EA, and their poor Managment. Where will YOU be, when the lights go out for the final time? Maria.
