Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[Paddy™]

To be fair I think jiersk's use of the word "cunt" was in response to my use of the word in a previous post; he didn't just introduce the word arbitrarily nor did he direct it at anyone specific. That said, his particular use of the word was kind of hyperbolic; as I and others have stated, being proud of your work is hardly a bad thing.

Whether or not jiersk meant "proud" or "boastful" I have yet to see evidence of this as it relates to Dan Pinchbeck. I've read every available article and interview with the guy - I compiled a list of them in the Information Portal thread along with the Q&A - and I'm not sure where this idea of him being arrogant (or indeed hating AAA games) has come from.

Regarding piracy, it sucks that an indie game is still being so heavily pirated after all this time but it must also be acknowledged that Frictional have more or less dismissed the problem as being relatively minor [click!]. It was the game's unexpectedly great sales that enabled Frictional to finance Pigs and at the same time work on their own super secret project.
