Am I the only one that's not entirely satisfied with this? neutral

No, I'm not satisfied either. This was a bullshit copout to get us to shut up.

I hope "they" don't expect us to forget about it over the weekend...

We will be an angry pack of wolves by Monday.

They do expect us to forget about it. Don't you know, that has been their game plan all along! That's what they have done every single time in the past. :/

The sad truth is, for everyone but those it directly affects, it might work.

I know the z!F won't forget about it (the future of our game hangs in the balance) but I dunno about everyone else...

We were promised figures. Is there a chance these figures will come to light?

You did not address whether or not zomg was making profit or not, the big issue about this. If Zomg was failing, give us the numbers. Otherwise, we are going to look at anything posted by a staff member in a skeptical light.

Since this concerns the game WE LOVE and its future, I'm afraid we will need cold, hard facts before we are satisfied. Was it in the black? Was it in the red? These conflicting statements are making it hard to trust anyone right now. I hope you can see the dilemma we are in.

We are going to need facts before we back down. If it was in the red, then why hide it? Show us, and while we will be sad, we will back down. But all this secrecy about the numbers is making me suspect the latter, and the idea that Gaia might be hiding this fact makes me very upset and angry.

I never wanted to believe Gaia would lie to me, but after this...well, I hope you can understand my dilemma. Only will facts before my eyes convince me otherwise.

In conclusion: Your post did not give us the answers we were seeking. Please try again.

"Are we there yet?" Not quite, but it is a step in the proper direction.

Edit: No. I read it again. I'm not happy at all!

After spending a crap load of time at my job, to earn money to put towards zOMG! thinking that it would help.. and finding out than any money we spent (even on zomg) went to Gaia anyway (should have known, derp on my part) and getting other commitments I have online sorted out.. I've spent HOURS a day playing.. after taking a LONG break. I came back because of DMS. I spent money.. because of DMS. Money I SHOULD have spent on bills.. food.. etc.

I found an ATA quote from Lanzer from last summer saying the money from zomg goes to zomg. Give me a sec and I'll repost it...

Evening, Lanzer. A few questions.

1. How come the 25% off sale on real life zOMG! items in the Gaia Store hasn't been advertised on the site?
2. Will the purchase of any of those items go toward zOMG!?
3. Have you thought about making a zOMG! EI for the cash shop? Somebody brought it up in my SF thread. You can find the quote here.

We usually advertise new items, and are usually focused on items, kind of like how we're not advertising many other Gaia store items but that one or two that sold well.

Yup

Yeah, there had been a number of ideas, it's up to the team to decide which ones make the most sense for them.

I don't remember what date, since I was going through the compliation thread, but we need to screencap this just in case.



I share your anger, since I did the same thing. I took $5-$10 out of my paycheck each week for a bit in the months coming up to DMS to save the game.

[LabTech Kestin]

Same. Exact. Story.

No offense, but you guys didn't convince us the first time, in AtA. I'm not seeing anything new in this post. All we want is to be treated like adults and given the whole truth. Not threads full of weasel words meant to placate and/or confuse us. >_<

Also, why was swarf's thread locked?

[Hybrid]

You forgot the part where you rushed a game out, slapped a beta sticker on it, promoted it as a finished product, and then permanently ruined its reputation among outside communities.

I'd definitely like that refund for my boardwalk ticket too.

Nice trick with the Breakfast Club approach to the thread though. "We'll have everyone sign it!"

Yea, I noticed that they did that. Really made me frown and shake my head. Oh, you guys messed up bad enough to get the entire Gaia community mad at you, so what do you do? You pick out a couple names that were dropped all over the place of people and staff some users mentioned that they trusted and threw them onto this post.

OH WOW GAIA! MY CONFIDENCE IN YOU WAS COMPLETELY LIFTED! I have seen the light! Knowing SO MANY admin are behind this -really- makes it believable!
