Talk:Stardock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The litigation section seems to be biased, and an attempt to cast Apple and TGTSoft in a bad light. The litigation portion of the article should be removed. Everything else seems to be okay. --Konfab user 06:35, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- I would say that the facts would cause a significant proportion of people to view TGTsoft in a less than positive light (particularly the sock puppet incident, which is a little hard to explain away), but that may just be me. :-) GreenReaper 04:42, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

- As far as online flame wars go, BOTH Stardock and TGTSoft are equally wrong to do something as unprofessional as engage in online flame wars. --Konfab user 06:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

- When you know employees of one company are posting on public newsgroups under false names, stating incorrect facts, and customers are reading their posts and thinking better of their products than yours as a result, what are you meant to do? Not respond? Being professional is one thing, but letting people get away with posting under false identities seems just plain wrong. If I'm not afraid to let people know who I am when I say something (and to be assumed biased as a result), why should I expect any less from others? GreenReaper 21:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

- Maybe it's just me, but I take whatever "facts" people provide in forums, chat rooms, blogs, news groups, etc. with a grain of salt. I prefer to try looking up product reviews from legitimate sources that strive to be fair and balanced. For example, I will look to game reviews written by the editors at GameSpot and reviews in gaming magazines such as EGM and Game Informer when considering the purchase of a game. I digress.

- *chuckles* - Well, just be aware that a lot of game reviewers are simply the same people you find on forums - they just manage to write well enough to get a job doing it (one of the people at Stardock actually ran such a website, he knows how it works). I'm sure you've come across the odd review that made you wonder whether the reviewer had actually played the game or was just looking at the screenshots - well, the developers are often thinking that, too. And yet, a lot of people do take their information from there, so we have to try to keep them happy with pretty screenshots. But you're right, this doesn't have a lot to do with this article - maybe GameSpy. :-) GreenReaper 18:07, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Corporate Machine = Entrepreneur?
From a thread at Talk:Entrepreneur#Video game, I added a "for the computer game previously known as Entrepreneur, see The Corporate Machine" line at the top of that article and wrote a little stub article for The Corporate Machine. But after researching it a bit, I'm not so sure this is the same game, as it kind of implies at Stardock#TotalGaming.net. Anyone more familiar with Stardock able to clear this up for me?

- The Corporate Machine is a later version of the same game. Entrepreneur Magazine threatened to sue Stardock for the use of the name - although it might not stand up in court, Brad simply didn't have the money to fight the case at that point. GreenReaper 04:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
