A worrying thought!!!

777 Studios do their own stuff and no amount of wishful thinking will bring on a merger. If anything 1C (the mother corporation of MG) could buy out Jason's company if they wanted, they're large enough after all. It's an undeniable fact that Maddox Games does things much differently than 777, lamentable or not (that's up to each person to decide for himself), but the steady "Why don't you give the code to 777" or "Why don't you join 777" is getting boring.

Besides, Jason does things on his own timetable. He doesn't have humorless suits who have no life beyond "shareholder value", "business bla bla" or "$$$ €€€" breathing down his neck. Simple as that ...

Exactly. He actually flew for 18 hours (!) online this weekend with the rest of the community. Imagine some suit from 1C (or even Luthier whatever from MG) doing anything like that. Yeah right

I dont want Luthier flying with me, I want him working on the sim. Jason obviously doesnt have much to do nowadays except enjoy himself - truley this is a symbol of decadance over at 777 and perhaps even a sign of decline?

Luthier can't be working on the patch on the weekend and I doubt he does any graphics programming. More likely he simply doesn't care about CloD. He wants to get the sequel out, get some 1C suits happy.

I'd love to fly with Luthier.
I'm pretty sure he's a great guy and e-pilot also a bigger enthusiast then me.
No matter how much Dover fails (and honestly I think it will) I say kudos to him for trying, it's a team/corporate effort and there is only so much he can do as an individual.

Are you aware that the rest of the community wanted him to stream stuff on twitch.tv or do something like that to get more out of his 18h madness? And he didn't want anything like that. He just wanted to get some online fun. So no, I didn't fall for any PR stunt.

I can't fault the man for making an attempt to be successful. What you need is a product that people want and at a price they will pay. When they do and you have a bigger number left over after expenses that is profit.

PR stunt or not, what does it matter? shows he enjoys his own product and interacts with his customers.
Luthier never even posts anymore, who can blame him, i would be embarrassed too.

Light years apart in the PR department.
