Damn if this is true. I loved world of goo

Don't be so blue.
Even if it's true.
Nothing you could do.

Still though, shit. World of Goo was phenomenal.

Sad, none the less.

Publisher, not Developer?

Ehhhh. Is it wrong of me to be unconcerned?

 

[Tagaziel]

Why does everyone assume rumours are always true?

 

[ríomhaire]

Because people are stupid.

 

[Evo]

Uhm this is their publisher, not Ron and Kyle themselves

The other day I heard a rumor that Lil' Wayne had been shot and died. In my joy I went onto a news website to find out it was a lie. Sadly, it was, and I was fooled by rumors. Like many others have been and will be before and after me.

Still, 90 percent piracy rate. That's gotta be a record.

That stat was always fairly meaningless, and even if you tried to generate a similar statistic for most other games '90%' would not be an unusual number. World of Goo actually sold very well. Whatever this company's problem is, it appears to have been unrelated to piracy or indeed to World of Goo, which by all accounts was a great success (something like 100k+ sales on Wii I believe).

Kotaku...its like the Sun Newspaper of gaming sites.....

I'm sure 2D Boy as a indie developer can find another publisher if true.

 

[Tagaziel]

Steamworks.

Why do they need a publisher for a little indie game? Just sell it over the net...
