So what are the 300 employees working on if no-one knows what the next step is yet?

There was a shot of some people sitting in an unused (possibly Bens former) office and pretending to work. Either all their work gets burned in front of them every day or it's minesweeper/solitaire city

If you were actually doing work on your work computer for work, would you keep the Cortana bar? Why go through the two seconds it takes to get rid of it when a full-ish taskbar gives the illusion of work?

Did they ever add that used car lot style jpeg store where the commandos can spend real money, in game, in a high pressure NPC based sales situation? Or just the clothes shop?

I think they probably used that asset in the Galactic Tour videos. Those all took place in what appeared to be giant ship showroom.

So this happened;

I'm just putting the following link here for everyone to see:

https://plus.google.com/+YouTubeCreators/posts/SULUVfi3K2T

We are currently talking with the Youtube support about this issue.

Jim Sterling has no respect to software engineers who learned programming in university for 5 years and work hard to create a good game.

Jim Sterling has no self-respect. He is going against Youtube rules and trying to damage a small team which is new in the industry. A pathetic bully.

Jim Sterling calls our work "Load of Crap". He doesn't respect our attempts to make a good game. He simply makes money by discredit other people's works. I wonder if this worm can actually write a single line of code!

This is not the end. This is only the beginning.

The Art of Stealth Team

Turned out that is *was* the end, because Steam pulled their accounts and the game.

Edit:
They switched out the link to the video in their message:

It's more how poo poo the game is compared with the level of entitlement that they showed. I should have taken a screenshot, because they tried to claim copyright infringement to start with.

They had five years learning. I guess the sixth year is where they deal with normals and the flipping thereof.

Truly amazingly bad, though.

A MMORPG Game built by gamer's, for gamer's and funded by gamer's.
(...)
Avatar Creation: You will be able to create your very own race from a set of body parts, which may be placed onto a generic model. Many games allow you to design your own character. This game, however, will be more extensive; giving you the ability to customize hair color, eye color, skin tone, and more. Available body parts to mix and match will include, but are not limited to, Elf ears, Orc trunks, Dwarf legs, Human heads, hands and arms, etc. If you like the way your Avatar looks you may also submit your completed design to us and, if we like it, we may use it as a premade character for others to randomly select and use. Show off your creation by running through your world with your armor off, well, with underwear on that is.

Note: Characters will not be permitted to run around buck naked�. Or can they? Every game needs a good mystery. Keep checking back for updates to our ideas pertaining to adult worlds, and submit suggestions as our game grows.
