Too long to be a good troll, and what is the point if you're not posting it to the relevant groups anyway? :V IN TEH PALECE KNOWEN AS alt.games.starcraft, TEH FAGGORTER GasPowe...@googlemail.com DUMPED HIS GHEYE SHIET ON MY COMPUTAR SCREEN!!!!: >We are all used to dealing with professional gaming companies like >Blizzard and EA. These corporations are large bureaucracies which >exhibit a certain level of professionalism in their travels. > >Many games out there have multiplayer functionality. They usually use >their own software to do this and it doesn't contain any extra >overhead or third party software. Supreme Commander, a game that's >keeping RTS gamers busy until the release of Starcraft 2, is a game >that explicitly requires GPGNet for online functionality. > >GPGNet has a PHPBB forum, a cafepress t-shirt shop, and about 100 fans >dedicated to stomping out anyone who dare say anything bad about the >company. > >No matter how loyal, it's interesting to point out how they're not shy >to admit that GPGNet is the thing that gets in the way of fun in the >game. > >GPGNet also has a chat room which works similar to IRC. It's filled >with, you guessed it, smug 20 somethings who get their power trips >behind the computer. People arguing over mispellings, aside from the >fact that a 5 minute sweep through the forums will yield you a >thousand typos. Why are people in this thing forced into a chat. I >don't want to hear these people. I want to game. > >The idea of forcing people into a chatroom is old web 1.0 shit. >Everyone is automatically in, they have to "Op-out" or whatever >themselves. > >But one thing that makes this place special isn't just the lack of >ingenuity or creativity. It's not even the fact that the software >doesn't work for over half the people. It's the idea people who >actually work for the company are assholes who are egotistically >active in the community. > >I didn't pay $50.00 to deal with some egotistical dickhead for a >failing company with a skull for a signature who doesn't even have the >balls or professionalism to use his real name. Then theirs the trivial >face that, well, you know, I'm keeping him fed. And then he goes off >and acts like an obnoxious asshole. > >I paid $50.00 to be able to play how I want, and say what I want, >without some e-power hungry tard named "Corecommander" or >"Sonofshagrat" kicking you from some IRC channel. This is why I hate >the internet nowadays. Even people at companies are anonymous cowards. >These people are actual employees. >LOL. > >I have a question for you to ponder. Why not drop the unnecessary >middle man in the next game? Remove that bloated clump of memory leak >shit and you got yourself something. > >EA and Blizzard take care of their own multiplayer network fine. It's >not rocket science. Aspyr needs to learn that if it wants to succeed >in the multiplayer gaming era, it will need to trim this parasitic app >from it's toolkit. > >Reality is, GPGNet is a failed idea and probably won't be around in 5 >years. The people who worked for this company will be able to say they >worked for a failed corporation which was lucky enough to take part in >a game that temporary held people over til Starcraft 2. > >Do the right thing. When Starcraft comes out, buy it, and uninstall >Supreme Commander from your system. With SupCom2 comes out (it'll be a >flop because it's been milked), but hypothetically speaking, be sure >to boycott it if it uses parasite-ware like gpgnet. > >God bless Blizzard. >God bless EA. >God bless all large gaming companies that can make working software. >GPGNet employees are unprofessional, egotistical, insulting, and fail. >GPGNet is Blizzard for the third world. >GPGNet is failware. >GPGNet is parasite-ware. > >You're first world. > >Starcraft 2 coming soon. We'll hold out until then.
