Haha! I guess I am apologizing. I don't want to do it anymore.
edit:
The issue here is that we received early access, and in this particular case that access was abused.
Primarily my apology is to Maarten and C&B.
When things go on sale to the public at large, there is no conflict because everyone who is paying attention has equal opportunity. This one was different (for me).

to amb6883: you're right, flippers gonna flip, it's whatever

It is one of those thing where if you don't do it there will always be people who do.

The big unanswerable question is where do you draw the line on such items and if you should buy extra and how many.


Funny thing is i bet everyone on this forum have done it (or still do), even the people who will chastise others have done it.


I have come to the conclusion there is always going to be someone mad at you whatever job you have. If your a mechanic people think you are screwing them over on parts and labor, if you are a lawyer... well no one likes or trust lawyers. Every business is cut throat in one respect or another... this is why in America about half our countries wealth is owned by the top 1%. And in most other countries it is about the same I am sure. In most situations morality and survival do not go hand and hand.

Imagine if insurance companies were overly generous and overly moral... or banks. They would all fail.


Just wanted to throw that out there. I am really just talking in general terms... no specific issue (like the one being talked about). I am sure i will be shot down by someone but reality is harsh, and "most" of us do the best we can.

This is always debated and i agree with you flatout.

Maarten can we ask what is next in line from C&B. More bioshock or another franchise

P.s Flatout, have you settled on that as your new avatar? Seems to be changing a bit of late

Yessir, I apologize again for derailing the thread.

Back on subject...
Maarten I really want a big daddy print the size of the large Songbird. Really really badly.

without derailing the thread anymore, as the owner of the print listed on ebay i feel i should explain myself.

yes i bought more than one but i never intended to list one on ebay straight away. However, my waste of space work colleague assured me he would pay me if ordered together to save on group shipping. As he did not i am left with an oversized print and a hole in my pocket

i was simply trying to recoup my money. If i was out to be extortionate i would have listed the item for a crazy buy it now price. I listed it as an auction starting at 0.99p. I do frequent these forums and I did not mean to cause offense or disappoint so i have had the listing removed from ebay.

For now i will keep the print while i decide what to do

Well, we're releasing Journey this Wednesday and if all goes well we'll have another very exciting game art launch end of July/early August, but due to legal reasons I can't quite reveal that yet.

Lets assume we're talking to/working with all the major publishers and studios at the moment, want would you guys really want to see most?

P.S. There is also an opportunity to do an extra set of Mass Effect. Interesting or no?
