The ones that are unemployed and disgruntled and trolling children on the internet?

No such thing as magic tools that are game specific, sorry if you believe everything you read online lol?

also a dev is not in charge of anything at daybreak, he works for them and does what he is told

if they tell him to start working on the daybreak project he will fill his cup of coffee and go sit down and make it happen or he can go get a new job

lol

the vg tools are archaic no other devs from any other house could even work on the game its not worth the time investment. the scripting is something from 1995 and the DB tools are archaic making the labor cost too high.

this was known in 2007

you're late

Vanguard used a version Unreal 2.5 and didn't even bother to utilize the UnrealScript tool which is one of the reasons why the game was such an unoptimized piece of shit that ran so horribly. Still a bad taste in my mouth but damn I remember the posts from ex-employees and the entire collapse of Sigil. I don't think we'll ever see Vanguard come back in any form. A shame really how all of that went down, but also the very reason why I'm very cautious to ever hype anything that Brad Mcquaid comes up. Proof is in the pudding with how this game turns out in the final product.

Daybreak probably made 1000% return on their SOE purchase price and good for them, they put tons of life into amazing old games.

Yeah that's why they just laid off 70 or so people in the past few months and are ending the expansions for Everquest 1 along with their numbers dropping drastically for games like h1z1 (their bread and butter) and Planetside 2 slowly dwindling.

I don't think the SoE lineup was worth much in the first place if some random investment company from Russia bought it rather than actual credible Videogame publishers. How much did they purchase it for? And what returns have they made? Again, they laid off 70 people and they continually laid off people since the company became DBG in 2015.

DBG is part of a virtual currency money laundering scheme for a Russian oligarch. Its been reported to the State Dept and me and a few other fellows were trying to make sure that Daybreak's parent company and all assets were frozen as the law states they should be frozen.

No link offhand as its a bit in the past now. If I come across the thread later I'll post it.

Incredibly asleep post. It's a money laundering front that also makes profit from whales. If they are winding down it's only because they are trying to transition to a different cover
