[sls]

Considering the game rakes in money by the bucket - pretty good I suspect!

I wonder what it must be like to have to lie for a living.

Ask politicians. They are masters of lying and do it on much larger scale…

What does this mean for Gems of War?

• Not much, really!

You sure about this?

@Saltypatra

with the backing of a large company, we may get the chance to improve Gems of War in ways that we couldn’t before.

And this?

@Saltypatra

• more stability and the possibility of further growth.

I’m also sceptical about this.

@Tabu

I don’t see this as a good thing. Name a game studio bought out by a publisher that decided to acknowledge the players wants and needs afterwards.

All we are going to get are hard deadlines which lead to unfinished content and bugs.

More monetized content to stay profitable, which will then lead to staff cuts when those profits aren’t made.

Get your wallets ready or pack your bags.

Damn… I only got 7 likes for predicting the future…

@Saltypatra

Infinity+2 (and therefore Gems of War) has been acquired by 505 Games. Now, I’m sure you all have a lot of questions, so I’ll try to answer as many as possible here and provide some further information.

What does this mean for Gems of War?

• Not much, really!
• No seriously, not much. While 505 now owns Infinity+2 and Gems of War, we are a subsidiary of them, and Steve is still our creative director. We will continue working on Gems of War as we have in the past.
• However, with the backing of a large company, we may get the chance to improve Gems of War in ways that we couldn’t before. Woohoo!

What does this mean for infinity+2?

• Not much, really!
• No seriously, not much aside from more stability and the possibility of further growth.

Well GoW certainly has not improved or been more stabil - quite the opposite

@Tabu you nailed it

[Wow]

Probably you have a nice crystal ball @Tabu. Your likes are more than 7 now…

I feel so important now! Thanks!

Seriously though, just wanted to remind people how far this game has fallen and how pretty much everything they say is propaganda to get you to keep spending while it dies.

Once pq3 is available on all platforms, this game dies for real.
