..Oh yes, we're much worse than, say, people that obsessively hate us without any direct provocation. We're such bad guys...
And a bit paranoid.

Brother none....Did you guys ever think if you put things out rationaly and tried to be constructive rather then destructive you would get more things done?
Right, you're sorry, my bad, it wasn't Todd Howard, it was Pete Hines who referred to the nude mod of Oblivion as "hacking" despite the fact that the extraction utility used for the mod was publicly used by other modders on the official Bethesda forums.
A good start
Yes, but on the other hand you have the modders who "automatically" assume that they can screw around with a foreign IP as they please. I have very rarely heard of a case where a mod team -instead of basically starting a sneaky guerilla attack on the IP- actually, you know, ASKED the IP holder for CONSENT in advance of starting work on the project.
Just a small point, but I don't think any of them wanted to licence the IP, per se, they just wanted to politely inform EA what they were doing and check that EA wouldn't object. As small, not-for-profit projects, licencing would be far too formal (not to mention costly!). Though it would certainly be required for a commercial project - if that was really the case with Peroxide, I don't know what they were thinking!
He's quite the villain.
To what? A primer on how to talk out of your ass about things you couldn't possibly know?
As for somethingawful, you burned one of their long time members who's been an active participant... and the site is full of assholes... you should have seen that coming miles away.
@Brother -- Do you honestly believe what you said -- that many people don't like NMA only because they can't stand someone with a different opinion? That really, truly you can't think of anything you may have done (wrong) to provoke the kind of response you're getting?
Just askin'...
Hell no, I was playing devil's advocate. I think our "tough guy" nature has produced a lot of bad apples, some of whom are disproportionately represented. Like I said, big nod to Rosh for our bad rep, and to other people.
I'm not going to apologize for other people or our reputation, though. We are what we are, and I fail to see what we're doing wrong that would deserve DOS attacks or media editors wishing us dead on official airtime.
Awesome post! Too bad you were stonewalled and eventually turned down by EA. I'd say a lawyer, somewhere, probably evaluated your request.Before we started I contacted Richard Garriott and described my plan....
I apologize on that then Brother None. I thought that was a direct comment on myself lumped in with "those that obsessively hate" (you).
That's what we want to do.agreed, I dont see why anyone would even want to mess with any possible BS. Go the "spiritual successor" route
Yes thats right.Agreed. A number of us are advising the same to them now. It is definitely preferable to go with the artistic sequel route, it's more legal, honest and artistic.
