He's way too busy killing me. Wait till you see London Taxi Rush Hour from the same developer.

Surely shovel isn't derogatory enough?

Data Design appear to have found an excellent business model, it's almost inspired:

1. Write games so terrible that nobody wants to pirate them.
2. Write 50 games simultaneously, preferably all using the same code.
3. At all costs, avoid letting your software get reviewed prior to it's release.
4. Make each game title bland but cutesy enough to attract the attention of parents who know nothing about games except that they keep the kids quiet.
5. Profit!

I take my hat off to 'em, it's a work of genius

As for the game itself, I haven't played it but from the companies past efforts and the various screenshots I've seen, expect it to be about as much fun as tuberculosis. It looks like a poor-mans Super Monkey Ball but with graphics designed by me in MS Paint.

Someone needs to assassinate the CEO of DDI.

I'd do it, but I'm a little busy collecting all the copies I can of their crappy, crappy games and BURNING THEM.

Ain't that the truth. Point and case: Ninjabread Man. What could possib-lie go wrong? Ninja, cute gingerbread lookin thing, sure to be a hit with your (kids, nephew, niece, grandchild, some other poor bastard you are gifting).

You know these 3rd parties complain that they can't compete on the Wii, possibly they are just trying to hard. Let me rephrase that, they are actually trying.

Moral of the story.... Never Try.

Better moral of the story:

Market GOOD games as "budget" titles. Sure, you'll make less profit, but you could also curb the crappy shovelware's sale speed.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
