How Much Will the Quake in Japan Affect the Game Industry?

[Joust Williams]

I concur.

I doubt it's a controversy so much as a question of whether it's not to print the game in Japan; meaning will it sell enough.

Who fucking knows?

Everyone except you, evidently. It's obvious why they're withholding production.

It's obvious why they might not print it in two years once everything is up and running again? It's obvious how well this will sell once everything settles back down and there's only memories left of quake? And you know the numbers?

Enlighten us.

I said it's obvious why they're withholding it. Your post said nothing about the eventuality of its release and neither did mine, you queef-quaffer.

You're having a tough time lately, yeah?

My post talked about whether or not it was worth it to print the game for Japanese release; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I must have been talking about once things calm down over there and life returns to normal.

I'm pretty sure when I'm posting MIT briefings in the sound off thread I'm aware of the situation. Maybe if you spent more time not being a worthless dick you'd actually be able to keep up with the logic of this discussion.

Yeah. How could I have possibly misinterpreted that crystalline slice of wordsmithery.

I do what I can. I just don't like when people go ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH OTHER LANGUAGE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A ENGLISH NAME FOR SAID GAME ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH.

I don't like it when Americans refer to their Genesis as a Mega Drive. No, it was a Genesis. Said it clearly on the console.

I'm going to call a game by the name in front of me. Right now, I'm playing Yakuza 4. But I totally played Ninja Ryukenden II at one point last year. If I had played Ninja Gaiden II, I would have said so.

It'll be okay.
