Daybreak sues THJ

[shovelquest]

Greed isnt

"wow cool this is a fun way to do donations"

you fucking commie sock puppet.

Greed is litreally some jack boot thug buying an IP with zero intention to develop it just to make a meager amount of money selling products to junkies that pay for 18 different accounts to play a game that the core fan base left because the owners of the IP hate them.

This would be like firing you from your job for not making the mcburgers as the advertisements portray them.

The thing that frustrates me is its not about "THE MONEY" it's about "money".

So like, yes you're right, but they are not going to spend 50k in court and lawyer fees to seize 30k in proffits some jack offs made.

Most people who say its about the money actually think that DBG is like, "oh no we could have paid for a team event with the money we lost, let's sue we NEED that."

It's about the money they will lose over the next 3+ years that THJ dominates them in the market.

Im arguing that the reason the lawsuit is happenig is because of how big they got.

The donation system is the tool they use to file the lawsuit.

If they had no donations, it'd have been harder for them to shut them down but they likely still would have.

I don't even think p99 hit THJ numbers at its peak. But I could be wrong.

I see your point about the numbers but I don't think that's the sole reason. I just have a feeling it's more about the money, but population could definitely be a factor as well. When I played p99 back in 2011 for the first time, I think we were routinely hitting over 2k in peak times. I do not recall if it was over 3k or not. I've played on and off since then, but I don't recall any EQ emu hitting 2k before THJ although Shards of Dalaya could be one that did. It was popular before I got into the emu.

I hope the THJ team is like, as good at law as they are making everquest EMUs so we can see them completely unravel DBG.

Im not saying they are, i just saying I hope that. Would be awesome to see this result in DBG totally being pants downed humiliated by them lol

PC games should embrace modding and Im against any fortnight playing millennial that thinks DBG is in the right here.

the human player to active account ratio would be hilarious to see, they'd need to break it out into groups though cause TLP is going to do all the heavy lifting in making it not seem as terrible i assume.

honestly surpised all the old servers haven't been merged into a single server by now
