Lock this thread if it's not SW related.

Wow, what a moron. Who would invest their entire life savings into a studio like 38 Studios?

He said that he was passionate about the project.

Wow, that sucks for me i guess

A shame, he tried following a dream that could make gamers happy, made a fun game, and lost it all.

Truthfully, if I had $50 million I'd probably retire early, or maybe make something that isn't $50 million (like a gaming website or nightclub). I gues not all big risks pay off.

Sadly ironic that they crashed and burned partly, because bad PR scared away investors.

that's too bad....he should have invested his money in the brainless games like COD

I can't wait until your prediction fails.:lol:

I have a hard time feeling sorry for someone that made millions in his career and somehow lost it all in a venture where someone else put up most of the money. I'm sure he's got some money laying around. I feel more sorry for the people who didn't get paid that didn't have millions to lose.

Rich people like to say they are broke when they still have millions lying around. "Oh, I had 50 million, now I only have 5 million..I'm BROKE!"

Don't worry about him, he won't be taking public transportation anytime soon.

I feel bad for Curt. He was an avid gamer. NEWMAHAY

If this was true the game would have been good.

I think they took too much risk. If I remember correctly, Amalur needed to sell 3M units just to break even. Too big too soon, surely. Why not instead work on 4 smaller games simultaneously, you just need one of those four to be as good as Minecraft, Trials HD, Journey, Limbo, or any other similar game.

Should have gone PC only Indy style. The console business scheme is near suicide for new comers.

haha good what an idiot. He was so hate-able when he was on the red sox as well as when he became an analyst post career.

Feel sorry for Curt all that money he made just gone.

Amazes me someone who has more money than they could ever spend (outside of highly risky ventures like this) would do this. I mean if you wanna risk a few million on some fun venture thats one thing, but your whole savings? Not that i'd ever feel sorry for Curt Schilling either lol, and he probably has a pension from MLBPA anyway...Captain__Tripps

It didn't sell well because of no good word of mouth, since it wasn't that good, which is why it got alot of 70%'s.
