A update about Bob's game

[fateastray]

I hope he DOES bundle it. And maybe just ONE person will buy the bundle, rip out the rom and spread across our favorite channels.

Nintendo clearly states they do not spread their development software to one-man-developers and non-professional developers. Bob doesn't (clearly) meet any of the requirements, and Nintendo isn't gonna break it's own rules.

And Nintendo doesn't want a flood of retarded homebrew-developers threatening them for the SDK.

 

[Hadrian]

What an asshole, seriously there are better ways to go about with this than what he has done or instends to do.

 

[Normmatt]

Why doesn't he just get in contact with EA or some other major games company, they would be the most likely to hire him and push his game through the channels.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

He just crushed his image...

After this last news update, I have to agree!

Not only he's spreading the word of flashcarts around, but he's "threatening" to do something illegal if Nintendo doesn't listen to him?!
Where's the logic??

I think that most of you know that I was taking his side till now, but this was a move that he really shouldn't have taken..
You're not supposed to talk about stuff like that if you're getting publicly known!

He ain't gonna go far!

And still, in my opinion, game looks fantastic!! I'm very interested in playing it..
Everything looks very nice and polished from the videos!

There's just too much hype with this game and very little else. The only reason we "know" it's an incredible game is because Bob told us it is. By that logic my penis is massive.

When has anything in the past lived up to people expectations when surrounded by large amounts of hype? As hype increases so does the disappointment, as this graph, taken from a detailed study by NASA, shows.

As you can see, at a certain level of hype the disappointment factor begins to increase dramatically. Even if the game is really good, it'll now be unlikely to live up to peoples expectations for it, therefore leaving people... disappointed.

You can't argue with SCIENCE.

I agree

Even if they would consider to doing this for him I'd doubt anyone would want to touch the guy now after this.

Yeah, he really pulled a bad move this time!!

Shame..

what a freaky fish guy...

I AM NOT A FREAKY FISH GUY!
Isn't that right ocean?
Ocean?
.....
The ocean says yes.

Anyway I need some copypasta to fuel my next paragraph:

About a week ago I was contacted by a representative of a hacker-for-hire organization.
They said that someone was attempting to hire them to take my site down, but they refused the job because they support me.
My site is now being DDoS'd from a known commercial botnet and my servers are being scanned by another known hacker-for-hire group.

This is very serious.
Someone at Nintendo wants to silence me.
I wonder who it is?

There we go.

Now I have a question for all of you.
Who themselves whole heartedly admits that they themselves were thinking of silencing him themselves?

I know I was.
IMO there should be some law against egocentric whiny people owning websites and servers.

 

[fateastray]

As if Bob is at all important to Nintendo that they'd feel so threatened to go to such lengths to shut him down. =S

Lmao for a moment there I thought you were Bob, or are you...

 

[kimit]

Even if Bob starts selling dsi flashcarts i really can't see him selling anymore than 500 or so (that should really kill nintendo lol)

 

[GeekyGuy]

I don't believe in Bob. I think he's a made up persona -- part of a government conspiracy to spread the AIDS virus.

 

[Pizzaroo]

OK, srsly, now he's calling it a celebration. weird.

 

[Gerinych]

Damn, all this and there's still nothing on him on Wikipedia

 

[cornaljoe]

LOL, man this guy is messed up. I thought it was the job of some hacker but its legit. He has gone off his rocker completely. We all know he isn't getting the SDK now, even if Nontendo was still considering it before yesterdays stunt. And if he does try to put his game on piracy carts and sell them, their legal department will have a field day. Especially since they have all the information on him like full name, and address.

 

[ZenZero]

I dunno if this has already been posted but look at his site!

http://www.bobsgame.com/

is there anyway to make contact with him yet

"bob's game" has never been intended as "homebrew." I've aimed to make a commercial game from the very start.
I have tried every approach to release "bob's game" through official means- because it was never intended as a "homebrew" game.
Yet "bob's game," a highly-anticipated, highly-publicized, retail-length, retail-quality, 20-hour-long, 64 megabyte adventure title- is being treated as such.

Releasing a retail length, retail quality game as "homebrew" indeed makes "bob's game" a KILLER APP for "homebrew-enabling" devices.
I do not want to support these devices, because many of them are able to run commercial software. This is damaging to developers like myself.

This puts me in a major predicament. Do I simply give up on five years of tireless effort? I cannot!
I am attempting to inform Nintendo what could happen if this project is released in the only way they have left me.
I am partying hard for them- publicly, on live broadcast, for 100 days- I do not want to release "bob's game" as "homebrew."

"bob's game" is a five year, fifteen-thousand-hour masterpiece.

How can I say this to make them understand?
THE GAME IS TREMENDOUSLY GOOD. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY! IT MIGHT SELL A MILLION COPIES.
I'VE BARELY SHOWN ANYTHING AT ALL FOR A REASON. I'M NOT GOING TO SPOIL IT TO PROVE IT TO YOU.
YOU WILL FIND OUT WHEN IT'S RELEASED. I AM TELLING THE TRUTH! IT'S GREAT!
ARE YOU HONESTLY GOING TO FORCE ME TO RELEASE IT FOR FLASHCARTS? ARE YOU INSANE?!
THE GAME IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Happy New Year, REGGIE!
(You're the best! I'm counting on you!)

Latest news...... i dont see the problem releasing the game with a flashcarts...... flashcarts are not illegal, so nintendo cant do something about that, hes really insane but i support him

 

[Ferrariman]

This guy is so full of himself.

 

[alex]

Wow, he's really sucking up to Reggie now. :\

Happy New Year, REGGIE!
(You're the best! I'm counting on you!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS, REGGIE!
(I really mean that! I hope your Christmas was spectacular!)


I mean, I do want to see his game released, he must have worked hard, I would probably buy it, but he's just going too far. He's threatening them with useless threats, and maybe even Nintendo has him redirected to their SPAM folder.

Maybe someone in Nintendo does want it released, but some others don't.

Sheesh, what's he going to do during those 100 days on camera, or should I say "camera."
