Brian Fargo.. you have to make a god damned decently sized quest chain where you have to reference the manual to progress like how you had to with the original games copy protection!
that would be awesome.
Those quotes were there at 8 AM this morning. Were they ever -not- there?
I have no defense. Senior moment I guess.
No worries! Wasn't meant to be critical was just genuinely curious if it was something they changed! Thought it was interesting because Fargo had tweeted earlier in the week how some friends at big publishers wouldn't say any public support; curious as to who those people were considering Muzyka and Pardo both seemingly gave permission to use their name in a quote.

Well, you're WRONG.
Seems like it's going to happen, by the way.
I'm hyped. Now let's wait for Avellone's move.
this might still take a while
A Tim Schafer project made more than 1 million in 24hs and Wasteland 2 is still at 282k? Humanity sucks.

Dude, it's only been half a day.
Also, this project is a bit more obscure and has a less charming frontman.
Barely 6 hours have passed, dude...

Yeah, especially the latter.
Tim Schafer is a way more popular figure than Fargo these days, and Double Fine has a way more solid track of excellent productions in the recent years.
I'm actually quite surprised by how well this Wasteland 2 is doing.

i cant believe it hit $300k in less than a day.

Crossed 300K...simply phenomenal
And BTW it seems they are only around 100K behind Double Fine Adventure in the same timeframe
That's pretty good!!

As far as I feel sorry for the poor guy, I can't help but appreciate the subtle irony in a first person shooter struggling to get any attention when a classic adventure and a turn based RPG are racking money.
It's essentially the very opposite of the scenario publishers keep imposing to us.

As apathetic as I am towards Double Fine as a developer, that doesn't really surprise me. People love Tim Schaefer.
Glad to see this has already picked up a nice chunk of change. Optimism rising.

Wow big respect to them both!!
Well in 8 hours Double Fine Adventure made 400K
This has made 300K in 8 hours
So ye know it's not that far behind...

Personally I don't know anything about Wasteland. But there's still RPGs coming out. Are they the kind of Baldur's-Gate-y RPGs of yore? No, not since Bioware sucked the soul of the Dragon Age franchise, but there's one from from time to time.
But there's a few genres that are almost completely dead. Point-n-click adventure gaming is one of them. It's even more rare than a quality turn based strategy game any more. I think that's why there is a different level of enthusiasm for the Double Fine game.
Wow. Seeing devs support each other like this thanks to the Kickstarter format is pretty neat.
Who was the Epic guy? Capps?
Yeah, I also feel bad for the guy, but I was turned off by his gun nut attitude. Let's concentrate on the awesome, Wasteland is a one third real!
Yeah.

tim schaefer is 1990s+2000. He has an active studio making games and a shit load of twitter followers
brian literally just started campaigning and also recently started his twitter account.
This is complete hogwash. There are literally dozens upon dozens of graphic adventure games being released yearly nowadays. "Adventure games are dead" is a meme from around a decade ago. I think it's more accurate to say "Point-n-click adventure games made by Tim Schafer are dead."
