Haha, smoooth

Seriously though, this must be a joke. No one can get anywhere near a professional game done in 90 days from scratch, no matter the amount of experience or ability they have. It's just not possible.

...and, nope, I don't know when the book is coming out

Yeah, and they don't offer up any of the "29" games so that you can see who did what on which project. I love ebay, it's the only place in the world you can spend 10,000$ US on a grilled cheese sandwich or to permanently tattoo a slogan on some womans face.

Wow... lawsuit in the making. I'd be terribly dissapointed to buy that and not wind up with a game. None of the feedback looks related to this particular product, either.

This person must have been watching Leno recently.


Come see the WIP!

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 

I feel very sorry for the person, if there was someone dumb enough, to pay such an exorbitant amount of money. Notice it says 60 years experience, but doesn't say how many people there are on the team. There's no proof that these guys aren't just a bunch of nerdy high schoolers. The whole thing looks very unprofessional.

Seriously, if I had $200,000 to blow on a game, I would scout and hire my own small team. Doofuses.

60 combined years, could be 12 people with 5 years experience.

Anyway, not a bad idea, just a bit high priced.

If you check the questions, they list titles some of their members have worked on, and the team size is from 7-15 depending on the scale of the project. Also, they stress that they can't complete a full, retail game in the 90 days, so you just get an incomplete title.

The box would have FRAGILE CONTENTS KEEP AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
you can hear keyboards clicking from inside like a concerto of excitment as they smell the server room they are heading to.

Imagine when they open the box, it would be like releasing hyenas back into the wild, but the box would be pointing to a dark server room, and they would all crawl and scurry into the dark confines.

David Attenborough would do a 7 part documentary on the pack.
Using state of the art cinematography, davids crew tranquilizes the pack leader and fastens a collar to his neck, then releasing him after the effect wears off.
NerdCam!

Since programmers hardly leave the house, the guy with the radar takes a nap.

The zoo keepers have a fresh supply of Softdrink, caffeine and pretzels (tomato & basil), for the hungry pack and hides it in their pc case for life enrichment.

lol, I should not let my imagination rule my daylight hours like that.
