tinyE: Thanks.
Shit, I'll probably be asleep as soon as I start the program anyway so why am I asking? :P
Idle curiosity? -laughs-
CarrionCrow: 23 items and Risen remain in round two for newer items.
Stilton: Well, it might turn up before I pass out ;-)
CarrionCrow: I'd say it's a combination of low standards on the part of some of the consumer base, and alternating laziness or disconnection from the process on the part of developers.
Someone should have noticed that using a flashlight, then shooting an enemy the same number of times was garbage. Or that the dodging was crap. Or that the game had no suspense. Or that the driving should've been removed completely.
But when you're packed in with your coworkers, and everyone thinks it's great, then it's the echo chamber of bullshit
until reality comes along, tells you your ideas sucked, then makes sure you don't get to try again.
Stilton: Unless you're Codemasters, in which case you keep right on doing it.
Hopefully. You've got one item (fuck you once again, Anomaly Defenders) that could go really slowly, but you've also got some (Dragonfall, Xenonauts, FTL) that could go really quickly.
But even then, you have to factor in how many copies GOG puts up for the round.
One good thing, though - they've been reducing the number of slow sellers to keep the sale from getting blocked so hard.
