Wolfire Games Forums

Do you think that, as Wolfire Games grows, they may lose some of their interactivity (the ability to access live chat with John at almost any random given time) or communication- the thing that makes them so great (other than, you know, their games) and unique from other corporations?

Do you think that recognition and increasing size, the thing they seem to want most, may cause a downfall?

That would be sad, but we have a long, long way to go before that happens.

I don't think they're a corporation. to be incorporated a company needs stock, I'm thinking maybe partnership? or sole ownership?

Being a corporation has nothing to do with this.

I think the issue here is that as the company gains more fans, Wolfire might simply not have the time to chat with everyone who wants to. But even Gabe Newell (head of Valve) has time to reply to all of his fans, so I don't think that there's much to worry about, especially for now.

Considering it took us a month or so to even get valve to return our emails, i'm not sure how accurate that is.

Maybe that guy thinks fans are more important than indie devs?

In any case, I have no doubts about Wolfire becoming great without losing this special trait. Not completely, anyway.

Wolfire for life, real-time chat for life, Overgrowth for longer.
We Worship Wolfire!
(not really, but it's a word that starts with W, which is nice. We really really like Wolfire, though, anyway.)

That could dramatically change if OG will be a hit :p

EDIT: When its gonna be a hit.

Well- yes, they're not a corporation. You understand my point, though, it seems. There just won't be enough time to deal with every single person that wants to ask a question, etc.

I kinda like the fact that Wolfire is such a small company (if I can call it that?), because of this reason. And, usually, big company's forums are filled with jerk-offs, while little ones like this are not.
