What comes to pb, well they aren't innocent, but atleast they aren't pretending something..
What? If there is
one party here that has been pretending
something over the last few months then it's PB. JoWood stayed silent during all that time. They said nothing at all. But PB pretended to be working on a Gothic-related product (their "next project") and the patch simultaneously for
months.
They lived in a lie - day after day after day that they posted to the WoG forums!
They are the champions of pretending and make believe.
As it turns out now, they have most likely not written a single line of Gothic III-related code since the 1.12 patch that came out around x-mas.
I'm with narpet whether anyone fucking cares or not. I'm not going to ever buy a product of PB or JoWood again. Play their games... maybe... but there's not going to be any money involved. The only thing that could change my opinion is a Gothic III patch and I don't give a fuck who funds it or who makes it or who releases it in the end.
Seriously, what gets to me is the dishonesty of PB. If they would have stepped forward at some point several months ago when they started working on their new project and said "tough shit, folks, this is a business world and there ain't gonna be no more G3 patches because no one is paying us anymore" then that would have been totally fine with me. But to
pretend day after day that everything is rosy and then to drop the bomb on the community like that... well, that's just dishonest, shabby, disgusting, lame and outright gay.
Sure, there was supposedly an NDA (how convenient
) but then they should have just STFU and not
pretended as if work on Gothic-related stuff and the patch was progressing as normal because it wasn't
months ago already.
PB can go and eat some major
as far as I am concerned.
