Aradune isn’t getting much love here (no surprise). I wonder if he chose casual games because he has no rep there, or just because it takes less capital.

I may have my facts wrong (wouldn’t be the first time) but didn’t he also think Vanguard was ready to launch?

Personally, I don’t hate Brad. I don’t even know the guy. What I do dislike is The Vision™, the disregard for what players actually want in a game, and the complete and total PR bullshit that dribbles out of mouth vs. what actually gets released.

I dislike his past performance, I don’t dislike the man. Heck, it’s not like I’m required to play his game. But he sure isn’t making the MMO industry any better, and I’d argue he makes it worse.

Does anyone else see the Irony of Brad McQuaid making a facebook type game for the casual game market? Isn’t his entire misguided philosophy of game design one of “casuals suq, only hardcores are worth my time, you must be willing to feel the pain to thrive in my game!”

Why so many Brad hate? Feeling sore of “The Vision”? I just find it funny, I mean, he doesn’t act like this guy:

Amen to that. Better yet, keep stringing him along on empty promises and minimal funding, and keep him the ^$#% AWAY from the rest of the world for the forseeable future.

Dear people funding Brad,

Please continue funding him in facebook games and never even think about another MMO with McQuaid involved.

Thank you,
Matt

Sambo: Brad = David Allen? WHO KNEW?

Hmm - if Brad and Derek Smart had a social game together, would the resulting creation become self-aware and conquer the universe?

I think you’ve all got it WAY wrong. “The Brad” getting into Facebook/social gaming is the surest way to KILL Facebook/social gaming! In 2 or 3 years we’ll be back to the way things should be, the way they were back when the universe was new and shiny.
