Galaxy in Turmoil has been shutdown

You guys remember that group who was making the true successor to Star Wars Battlefront 2? The ones who were going to complete the alpha we saw of 3?

Well guess what? They got shut down

frontwirestudios.com/the-future-of-galaxy-in-turmoil/


And surprise, surprise it's EA's fault.

what the fuck did you think would happen

They didn't do anything wrong though. They were the license holders and they shut down an unlicensed band project with some friends on the copyright and property

If they didn't want to get C&D'd then they should have maybe made the game its own thing instead of riding on the coattails of a successful franchise

To be fair, they thought they were going to get away with this shit to begin with?
Why waste all that time and effort and just think that someone like fucking EA is going to let you use their IP?

And this is a goddamned fact by the way. The game you wanted didn't come out? Boohoo. You know what? That's emotional pleading, and makes you no better than sjws

It was obvious from the start this was gonna happen. Now they're probably just gonna remove all the shit related to star wars in it and just release it as some new game.

They deserved this.

100% certain you don’t know what an SJW is or desires.

But I didn't, user ;_;

There's always one corporate apologist in these threads, for some reason.

What I got from this:

everytime fucking modders believe that their full reworked versions of a game will ever be made official

These guys shoulda oughta dropped the "Star Wars" name and started using their own models. People would have greatly appreciated a new game in the same vein as Battlefront 2, and it didn't need to be Star Wars, it just needed to be Galaxy in Turmoil. (or GiT for short, which is very appropriate for Frontwire)

EA are always cunts, that's the first rule of the industry.

Nobody actually thinks Star Wars is salvageable at this point EA cuck.


They should, Star Wars is gay.

EA apologist no less.

I'm not surprised by this at all, but EA are still colossal faggots.

Just because someone has the ability to do something, it doesn't make them a fucking saint for doing it. In fact, doing shit like this makes you a fucking bastard, especially since these fucks could have easily outdone EA's cash-in outright rape of the series.

You and I both fucking know that america copyright laws are goddamned draconian bullshit made for the benefit of the corporations and never for the consumer or the small business owner.

Get the fuck off of this site, you retard. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself for even daring to defend a fucking corp.

They argue based on emotional appeals rather than facts, which is what most anons itt doing so you tell me

I'm advocating for proper use and control of copyright, faggot. There's a line I like that removes you from criticism " actually, it is about ethics in the gaming industry"

Please tell me how EA killing an unlicensed fan project and protecting their investment is not ethical

and then the game will lose the interest of everyone because they can't play as vader or chewbacca anymore

same thing happened to MLP fighting game

...

You're literally defending EA shutting down a fangame. I don't even need to bother with you.

Next youll tell me that you support black lives matter

Wow one line of green text, those are some spicy facts and definitely not emotions

I got a good feeling about this thread.

Wow one sentence, that's definitely not reinforcing a strawman fallacy.

Wow saying a fallacy, I'm sure glad you have a website to tell you how to argue & think

Is this the part where we start posting smugs?

This is as obvious as any other fan project that's too good for the source material. Perhaps stop looking for exposure and just make your thing.

Alright, i'll humor your retarded analogy.

They made their own assets, made their own game. All on their own time, all for free, no profit involved. They made free beer and beer that we know tastes better then yours.

It's not the customer's or their fault if your booze tastes like shit and they make better booze for fucking free.

You know what that's called? A free fucking market.

No one is FORCED to buy your shitty ass booze, that you didn't even filter or ferment right.

If someone makes better booze for free, then you're out of a job.

That's what a C&D is, fear. In this case, it's fear that people would see that your booze is shit.

But we already know that your booze is shit. Get the fuck out.

Fuck shills, time for feels.

not sure what else people were expecting to happen. we all know that ea are evil fucks but they're also evil fucks who just spent untold millions on the star wars license and legally they're in the right, they have no reason not to c&d this.

hopefully they find a way to continue the project. battlefront doesn't need a starwars motif to be successful imo

I'll say it again, a C&D is shutting down the free beer stall, when you could instead make better beer.

You have more resources then the fucker making it for free. You have no excuse. Again, fuck you.

i am not defending EA, i am saying it's stupid to do things that are against said copyright law, then publicly acknowledge it and then expect to get away with it.

Could just made the whole thing unnoficial, but no, they want their names written in a star on EA's offices and they deserve what they get for being dumb and having a big ego

...

So where is it, faggot? They might as well be a bunch of cunts on early access.

You can't make beer from fruit you retard, only wines and maybe brandy or rum and other sugar-based alcohols. Christ

Point is, your independent little brewery doesn't meet that standard FDA regulations so your food product can't be put out. To continue the analogy, it would be like calling yourself a Budweiser factory even though you're making knock-off product. You might have the best intentions in mind but they said no

So why not just change all the characters/vehicle designs and continue working on it?

Just call it Meteor Conflict or something and call it a day.

I would like to politely reiterate the fact that you can't make beer from fruit

The analogy somehow moved from your wine to beer.

People must be drinking a bit too much of either tonight.

That wouldn't have been necessary if the cunts didn't show their hand already.

No I specifically said alcohol and not beer for this very reason, people are not reading my post and are disregarding the details

Really? They were developing the game, retard.

I don't thing you get the implication. I'm saying that any dumb fuck can make a better game then EA. ANY PERSON, even anyone here.

HELL, go to a fucking literature board or ask a shit enthusiast and THEY can make a better game then fucking EA. EA isn't just evil, they're too stupid to make a fucking game that is anywhere NEAR fun.


and you just lost the argument. It was your analogy in the first place, as well.

What the fuck are you stupid assholes even talking about anymore.

Nigger is this an elaborate ruse?

Okay, I know your upset that people aren't reading all of your details.

Tell me exactly how that makes you feel, user.

Say what you want…

Those jews dance better then you ever could.

...

In all honesty you know they may have well baited a C&D for free advertisement for their own clone.

Anything but the topic. The autism level on 8ch as a whole is reaching the point where you can't have conversations without someone nitpicking a single word in your post and trying to start a 36 post chain where nobody will just walk the fuck away.

Jedi Knight cutscenes were fucking awesome

They're not shutting down, they can't make it Star Wars anymore so they're just making the same thing, just changing the assets.
If it's going to be the same game minus Star Wars who cares?

Fuck off kike.

This is where I got my information from and why I know so much about Brewing

Alcohol is derived from sugars. The source of the sugar or starch determines the kind of alcohol you get as well as the other additive agents. If you use rye or barley or wheat you usually get beer, a grain alcohol. If you use something like honey then you end up with mead depending on the process. you use potato starch you getting vodka.

If you use fruit the usual outcome is going to be one again depending on process but this is typical. If you refine the wine again you get Brandy

So no you can't really make beer from fruit two different by definition

Lucasfilm made Star Wars and are controlled by Disney. If neither of them give a shit, the only thing EA needs to worry about is how long they should stand around with their finger up their ass and figure out how to make a halfway decent Battlefront game to make people forget about a cobbled together fan project.

Yeah cause that worked out great for Chapter Master.

And looking for exposure all the while. Do you not see the simple problem here, you daffy shit? Showing your hand to the kike is going to get you out of the game, even if you're doing it for free. This won't be the first or the last, because people are too proud of their work before it's even presentable in much more that screenshots. You must be new and haven't watched mods crash and burn after 5+ years, you silly queer.

I didn't hear a goddamned whisper about the fucking game until this thread, so your claims are fucking NEWS to me, shill.

Pokemon go is only popular because it's Pokemon. The company's previous game Ingress didnt make a fucking dent anywhere.

They also get up in the morning and have breakfast. And many of them brush their teeth. Some of them even bathe. You better stop doing all of those things or you're just like the SJW.
The complaints against SJW are about their mindless self destrtuction and need to embed themselves in any industry, regardless of whether or not they actually consume the products of these industries, and subvert it for their own agenda, not because they display emotions.

...

Good for you faggot. Nice fucking sample size.

...

You're slurring your posts. It's time to stop.

Serious question for everyone. If they changed the game they worked so hard on into a unique IP and tried to Crowdfund for money so they could pay everyone for their time and work even more on it would you support it?

I would personally be very tempted to myself. Also what would the game's setting be?


The game isn't only popular because it was Star Wars but because the Devs wanted to make a GOOD GAME.

Shitposting on Holla Forums is the only highlight of my day today

Pathetic. Why are you telling me this?

I would be interested in the game but I wouldn't crowdfund it. I've seen too many disasters when it comes to that stuff.

What then? Retool it into a new IP and shill it to a publisher?

I'm not sure I like that idea either.

It's the usual manic faggot, probably. Just watch the 4 AM thread on and off and you can mark them easily.

Did you just assume my post history, shitlord?

Well that game was way more depedant on being a fan game. It was funny to see characters who revolve around resolving friendship issues beat the tar out of eachother and being a fighting game the characters need to have a good amount of appeal to them -so when their favorite character gets turned into some magic llama or some shit that's a lot of appeal lost. This though could be it's own thing and people would still like it even putting aside whatever fans felt was lost potential. Honestly what I saw here about this project months ago wasn't even interesting, if this was some scheme to draw in Star Wars fans knowing EA would tell them off then I think it makes more sense even. Hell, if they wanted to I bet if they went to whoever owns Star Trek they could make a pretty sweet deal out of this with how fan works have been supported in the past (from what I gather). Now that would be an amazing spit in Disney and EA's face.

Bernie?

...

It's like you have no idea what that word means. I mean fuck, where do you even draw the line in the extended universe?

It already is going to be a new IP, also from the post:

I like the sound of this. I usually against crowdfunding but if they have something playable I can try I would consider donating.

They said they're going to release unfinished items which they can't use anymore so that may happen.

There's no way they didn't do dumb shit on purpose.

More like

-except his point, the whole point here, is that they used Star Wars and tried to make a game just like that of something owned by their competition's Star Wars game and weren't allowed because of licensing laws and agreements.

why not do this:

1. say they are no longer involved and will stop any development of the game

2. continue the development anyways in secret

3. release it and say they had nothing to do with it

Because EA would take them to court and they would most likely win with limited proof.

man it's so weird how, before Disney in the 70's and nintendo in the 80's, actual content creators were the beneficiaries of fair use laws. Now if your code of numbers that can be found in irrational number decimal places is protected for 50 years and your shitty drawings are protected for the lifetime of the artist plus 120 fucking years. That sounds like fair use that benefits the community.

if this shit keeps up it's going to get to the point where shit like biological functions are trademarked. What's that, you didn't pay your license (requiring annual renewal, of course) for your DNA sequence to create the protein that allows for Sodium-Ion channel communication between cells? arrested, forced to pay 250,000 and 5 years jail for piracy. And don't you dare think about torrenting your Mitochondria, scum.

This is already happening. Biologists have been trademarking there GMO products so that rival companies would get blown the fuck out if they try to use something similar. Not just Monsanto but other individual researchers to

EA HATES FAGS

I know.
man, I hate how those bee torrent-trackers downloaded those monsanto genes onto my GMO-free unlicensed farm, guess I have to pay 5,000,000 dollarydoos or get my livelyhood taken out from under me by a court for something that is outside of the control of man.

no wonder the bee population is dying off. It's part of the government's plan to crack down on pirates!

yep

it's the fucking Internet, they can make and release whatever they want.

If only, then I could say that I like one single thing about them.

bioware is like a shitty indie team when it comes to how much mandated diversity there is. But instead of it being a two hour episodic snore-fest, it's a 40 hour long RPG with a Simon-Says grandmaster championship finale.

Gee whiz, how clueless I was before coming to this thread. I'll join you in occupying Wall Street with my Bernie Sanders gear right after I finish making a special batch of internet-distributed child pornography.

Too bad, but why is anyone surprised?
I mean, that should've been rather obvious as to what'd happen.

Who's the idiot that gave EA the exclusive license for these games? Blame EA all you want but they got a good fucking deal for themselves and LucasFilm fucked up.

He isn;t really wrong. There's not much you can do on the internet to stop a guy from copying all your shit.
Not that such is wrong.

Copyright laws are the maximum fuckery, you ask me. Especially patents. Absolutely horrible. Froze revolver development for years.

Not surprising, EA is salty as fuck that their Battlefield reskin didn't sell millions.

m8 we're not fucking commies but 120 fucking years for your drawing of a cartoon mouse stifles artistry and perpetual patent bullshit stifles innovation. Imagine how far we would be if mundane chemical processes like nitroglycerin distillation or artificial nitrogen fixation were patented and enforced with the same vigil that they are today.

When will this meme die?

Was news to me too. I bet that guy's the same shithead from the last three dozen threads where some autist goes asscrazy and baits like a japanese whale fisher.

It's like nobody cares about Snowden

It's like they expected EA to allow them to continue. I mean it's not like EA treat their fans like trash, right?

The truth is, outside of SEGA right now there is no other major company which truly respect their fans and only absolutely pathetic idiots would trust EA on that matter.

This is quite ironic, by the way, not only it was their game since the beginning or that it was actual Battlefront 3 which makes their shitty "taking away attention" excuse irrelevant, it could bring them shitton of money, way more than their latest piece of shit games combined. EA Jews are mentally ill, it's like they want to save their terrible reputation and don't want very easy money at the same time.

If these retards wanted to release the game, they should've been silent until actual release, like every competent developer who is messing with IP he has no rights to use. Even if you care about attention you can gain it with finished project.

Fuck both EA and these naive idiots.

There are people just as stupid as EA is evil.
The smart thing would be just make the game in silence, and then release it unto all torrent trackers of the planet. Like these fuckers did.
But no, they wanted, what exactly, release it on steam? To sell it? Or to become famous? Either way the whole situation clearly shows ulterior motives. If they just wanted to deliver a game that fans asked for, they'd just do that.


Using copyrighted code and assets isn't a "fan game". If they build the thing themselves from scratch THEN it would count as one, and even then EA would shut them down all the same.

Yeah that blood DLC is super fucking respectful.
