3DR: Mums The Word
by Steve Gibson, Feb 12, 2001 2:57pm PSTWell it's finally happened. you guys scared Wiederhold over at 3DRealms into finally taking a shower. On top of that he's got this to say which will probably be the last thing we hear from the guy for what I'm guessing is the rest of the year. Check it out:
[...] From time to time George and I have been kicking around the idea of just shutting the hell up until the game is done. This has been happening more and more often lately and astute forum regulars and trolls alike might be able to venture a guess why. Getting in the mud and arguing with the fans is a lot of fun, especially when you find a group of people who can take it as just that and don't want us to act like salesmen when we talk with them. Well, I woke up this morning and thought "Today is the day". So I finally took a shower after 6 months. I'm sure my co-workers will appreciate this. After the shower though, I decided to just shut up until the game has "Gone Gold". Once it is out I'll be bursting with energy to talk to everyone about it, offer suggestions for mod authors on getting things to work, help fixing issues, whatever. To make it more than just a "promise to not post on forums"... if I do post somewhere, I'll owe the entire company dinner at someplace of their choice (Kobe, whatever). [snip]What this of course means is I can publically ridicule Charlie all I want now. hmm....

Glad to see you've decided to STFU George. It's about fucking time.
Now bake me a DNF, and you better hope to god i'm still curious after all this time.
Cheers,
Raziel
No offense to G.I. Joe.
Download this 33 meg movie of DNF using the Quake2 engine. Play it with Media Player and press alt-enter to watch it fullscreen.

3DR joins the ranks of most all the other game developers out there. Afraid of the community because they just get attacked and berated wherever they go.
Sorry to see it come to this, a guy works 7days a week and 10-12hrs a day and wants to shoot the shit on a messageboard when he finally has a break. But some fucktwits chase him off.
Big fucking deal that the game is taking a long time, shit happens. They should still be treated like human beings. But I guess I'm nearly alone with that sentiment.

I'm impressed, these fags who constantly abuse a company WILLING to put game content in (unlike id who release engines) are OBVIOUSLY clueless dicks who dont deserver to play warez or even buy your game..... they should go back to playing "quake 3 (the engine) arena" etc.
I love the surprise factor, I loved it in doom, and I want it for doom3, I doubt I shall get it however at least I will get it for DN4ever
well done fella's

George Broussard, I hold you responsible for the exact same type of turmoil that is happening in the FPS world.

At this point not saying anything will hurt them more than help.
They seem to not understand, we want news of the game, we want to be updated on current builds and screenshots.
WE(the players OWN the game), WE pay your salary, We make or break a software company (unless m$shaft buys you and you get to sit around).
DN4EVER is late, a game that froze tech a year ago and won't be out for a year or more is bound to look dated at release
