Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[Sarcastic Username]

Really? So she only get 40% of the sale? I always thought Unreal was a flat fee. Do other engines charge as much? She could have easily gone with Unity to make this game.

Most places do the flat fee. But Unreal has an indie-developer price point where the price is based on sales to encourage smaller players to use their stuff.

I wonder if Wu ever told them about the release.

She has claimed to be well-known to the Unreal developer team and they consider her to be cutting-edge stuff. Or some crap like that.

The sales numbers come from the inc.com article that Brianna said was very well researched

http://www.inc.com/magazine/201504/...why-would-anyone-want-to-kill-brianna-wu.html

Revolution 60 launched on the App Store in July, and the response was everything Wu and her small, all-female team of developers had hoped it would be. More than 250,000 people downloaded the free version in the first six months, and the sell-through rate for the $5.99 full version hit four times the industry average of about 2 percent. ... Next up: a multiplatform version for desktops and gaming consoles--Giant Spacekat's only hope of recouping its initial $400,000 investment, earning a profit, and breaking out of the indie ghetto.

The numbers would cover the 2014 year. Presumably there were some sales in 2015 as well.

"You think my game is bad, gamergaters? Well did you see anything?"

After the game flops, John's gonna be like, "My game is bad, gamergaters?! I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER!!1"
In between all of the salt he explodes in.

And then rage and snarl when they inevitably do.

An initial investment of $400,000 so more was invested after that? I could have made R60 for fuck all with Unreal and Blender.

The sad part is that the game really looks like a 20k game, not a 400k one.
If Brianna had just settled down, reigned in her ego and done the work herself Rev 60 could so easily have been a 20k game. Instead, she just had to throw money at it to make herself feel like a big shot.
She didn't want to be an indie dev, she just wants the prestige of it. What she really wants is to be with the big players, dropping millions into her games and having celebs do the voice acting.

Thats the sad reality, if she sit down her ass and actually invested her time into learning coding/programing and 3d shit and Unreal Engine instead of whole-day-shit-a-post-thons on twitter, by now she would have decent skill in all of those 3 segments and could have been ''yes, I may not have degree but I invested my time into learning new skill now watch me rock this thing'', but nah, better ''lie lie lie lie lie and lie until my face curls up into infinite snarl tic''.

It all makes sense now. Both the price tag *and* the production delays.

Dobson's doing the art and he can't find anything more to trace from than Flynt's comics.

The 400k was sunk on equipment, staff, training staff etc.

Let's be honest, Brianna Wu doesn't want to be an indie developer. It's not glamorous work. By all indications, Brianna wants to be EA or Nintendo - a big name that produces multi-million dollar franchises with the latest technology. However, because her idea of the video game industry is as warped as her views on everything else, she doesn't understand why she can't just pour money into something and it's instantly a big, successful, AAA game. It must be breaking her pea brain to know how much she's spent on Rev60 and for it to not be anything resembling a success.

Wu has the same logic Chris had during the Miyamoto saga, just with the premise throwing money at the problem would turn straw to gold instead of how Chris figured he could just sell his ideas to Nintendo and let them turn straw to gold, but the premise is the same.

Neither wanted to have to do hard work to get things done, they wanted to take shortcuts to success, with the same end result of getting easy popularity for as little hard work as possible.

What are the odds that her followers have the high end PCs needed to chug through this game or even low end PCs let alone most SJWs?

They all run Macbooks, which may struggle with this game depending on how much fucking light blooms John throws in there.

Also similar to Chris is that Brianna has this hope that someone out there will see the SOCCON/Rev60 story as this epic franchise and throw money at her to buy the rights to it. That way, she doesn't have to deal with the burden of ever having to make anything again and can live as "Brianna Wu, the genius behind Rev60" making all sorts of talk show appearances, signing tours, screenings, conferences, etc. It all comes back to Wu's ultimate dream being a life where she doesn't have to do anything but talk about how awesome she is and getting to live a life of supreme luxury.

 

[AnOminous]

Does he ignore the reviews that say the combat is extremely boring and repetitive? Can you fix that in 2 days, Bri? No?

That would involve actual programming, which John Flynt can't do. The limits of Flynt's ability is to twiddle some colors. That's all he can do.

Thats the sad reality, if she sit down her ass and actually invested her time into learning coding/programing and 3d shit and Unreal Engine instead of whole-day-shit-a-post-thons on twitter, by now she would have decent skill in all of those 3 segments and could have been ''yes, I may not have degree but I invested my time into learning new skill now watch me rock this thing'', but nah, better ''lie lie lie lie lie and lie until my face curls up into infinite snarl tic''.

I doubt it. Flynt spent ten years in college and didn't learn a fucking thing.

I don't think he has the mental capacity to do anything that requires actual thought.

So basically she wants to be George Lucas but without having to put any of the initial effort in?

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Since Duke Nukem Forever was brought up earlier, I find it funny that between the 10 years Wu spent in college and the 10 years spent on Duke Nukem Forever, somehow Duke comes out more successful in that matchup.

At least there is $1 bargain bin evidence of an accomplishment (and I use that word loosely) in DNF's case.

If memory serves, I believe Duke Nukem Forever took thirteen years.

Really, I'm more upset that I can't make " x game will come out when Duke Nukem Forever is released" jokes anymore.

Politics time! (read bottom to top)

I love how Wu goes straight from insulting people for having an american-centric view to having an american-centric view and ignoring all the other women politicians from history.

Oh my God, Wu, you are so dumb. Yeah, Hilary was definitely the woman who broke the mold when it came to being the First Lady. It's not like Woodrow Wilson's wife gave herself a crash-course in politics so she could completely take over for her invalid husband after his stroke, or Eleanor Roosevelt changed the world or anything. & those are just two I can list of the top of my head. Pretty sure Lyndon B. Johnson's wife got shit done, too.

Lern2feminism, goddamn.

I dedicate this historical spergery to @Ravenor . Also, maybe you could shoehorn this into the wiki, @Jaimas ?

Genius entrepreneur game dev, who does not know that "shill" and "shrill" are different words

"Shill" is now a gendered slur. Good Job on not knowing your native language, John!

Wu apparently has a lot of difficulty reading the word "shill".

https://tweetsave.com/spacekatgal/status/721464997403041792

Wu is also facing unimaginable harassment today, as 3 or 4 random people out of the millions that use twitter dare to speak back.

I think she's also confusing "shrill" with "shrew." Good job, BriBri.

Wu really doesn't like Sanders at all. But I guess him pretty much having lost to a STRONG AND INDEPENDANT WOMYN THAT TOTALLY HAS A VAJ AND IS RELATABLE does not mean that he should be left alone now. He is old, white and cis after all, and he blames his wife for... something. How dare he?

You've heard the cries, you've seen the likes of Anita Sarkeesian making a name for herself by pointing out all sorts of negative stereotypes and connotations that have dogged the industry for decades, and you've probably heard the travesties surrounding people like Brianna Wu and Alison Rapp, who've either been lambasted by hate groups or even left their jobs due to constant harassment and bullying.

Wu was also logged into Steam about an hour ago. No game or DB activity.

He wants to be a CEO, or at least what he thinks of being a CEO.

Being large and in-charge, firing and hiring people, kicking back and relaxing while people work like slaves for him, and most of all, having people care about his ideas and words.

When in reality, being a CEO is much more stressful and harmful to health if you're not calm enough or smart enough. CEOs have tons of workers and stock-investors to worry about and take care of.

The meteor is coming closer, Johnny.....

It's hilarious watching her slip between actively hating him and pretending she likes him just because her Twitter clique does.

Remember a few weeks ago she was refusing to vote because she couldn't choose between Hilary and Bernie……… then she acts like this.

Yeah, it's just a thin veneer of appearing neutral and open to the political process when in reality Wu probably hates Sanders' guts just because he's a man. I doubt there's any knowledge about politics and the platforms of the candidates in that horrible brain.
