Flagship founder Bill Roper joins Cryptic Studios

LMAO

"Did none of you guys read the interview with 1up?"

Yes, he said good things, however his track record is one of going back on the good things he says, often at the expense of the customers and their faith.

Ropers was responsible for many if not all of HG:L's horrible mistakes.... now, let's move on....

"Ropers a good guy who honestly cares about his games"

He actively abused his customers, dismissed their concerns, lied to them, offered life time subscriptions to a game that didn't last much over a year, and generally led his game and company to ruin.

"I'm glad he found a new home, and I know he'll take CO to some great places."

Many people have been burned badly by Ropers, and we have every right to be concerned about the places he'll take CO. Knowing that he will influence the game's design in any way, shape or form gives reason to pause.

Where before CO was an auto-purchase, now it'll need to be followed and examined very closely to make sure it's worth our money.

I don't care what he or 1up said. Talk is cheap. As far as I'm concerned he'd got a long way to go to prove he's not the Anti-Midas.
