for a hardcore tea partier who goes on hannity, schilling is an almost whimsical dude... throwing his money into Coins n' Things, taking a giant loan from the government to create a game since, well, shit, he likes to play them a lot. i get the impression he does all of this barely conscious of what he's doing, guided only by fantasy and vague political beliefsPisscubes wrote:I can dig it, man. I mean, it's more intersting over here because he was a big sports figure and the fact that MAs govenor refusing to give him the cash was a big deal for some people-- right wing talk radio went off for weeks about how the govenor was ANTI-BUSINESS and had just chased a true patriot out of the state.Zerohero wrote:I wanna get interested, and Schilling always has been a doucher.. but I dunno, just not feeling it.
Carry on sirs.
So, you know, it's been a tale long in the making here.
4 million A MONTH to run the studio! Pisscubes wrote:Yeah-- I read that. They basically saved the staff of Big Huge. They hired a ton of their workers and are letting them stay together as a team to work on a project. Super cool.The Bill wrote:Seems that Epic Games just bought a portion of the studio. Probably the actual hard working game developers. So, that's some good news.

guys have no clue as to the value of money and how fucking hard it is to accumulate even 1 measly million over a lifetime when living such a bizarre alt reality as life. If not a greedy fuckface you'd never have to face that reality, but I hope he does.Pisscubes wrote:Wang Mandu wrote:http://news.providencejournal.com/break ... -decl.html

This whole thing stinks to high heaven-- from the cronies in the RI gubberment that initially approved it to 38 Studios RIDICULOUS cash burn (4 million a MONTH with, so far, showing NOTHING in terms of the MMO they were working on).
Schilling has been crying that he'll be "broke", but if he indeed only (and yeah... "only") put 50 million of his own cash into this, he should still have a lot left as he made something like $140 million during his career (that's without any endorsement deals).
If only the WARN Act had criminal implications. The company clearly is in violation of that (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/29/chapter-23). Their response "we wanted to hear from us first." Ok, well you easily could have done that, THEN notified the Department of Labor in the appropriate time, but no. Your accounting sucked and you had no idea you couldn't operate until it was too late. Either ineptitude, or willful ignorance/purposeful stupidity.Pisscubes wrote:Oh, he won't. Unless he's done something truly illegal and ends up in jail (HAHAHAHAHA) he'll slink off with ONLY 30-40 million, write a book for another couple million and be back bitching on the radio about the gubbertment and poor people before you know it.
I'm still astonished that so much of the financial community bought into the hype of Facebook. I've been saying it was overvalued for years.

the financial community never bought into facebook... they bought into an IPO they could hype and due investors out of look and make $$$$$ on their fees. Fucking sharks for sure.

Back to Schilling, he got paid by a billionaire so said uber-wealthy white guy could be part of something he can't by talent - a major sports championship. Schilling basically tried doing the same thing in a way, using his money and charisma to be a successful businessman, since his lack of business acumen couldn't do it. I'm speculating of course, but there has to be some sort of fraud involved in his company. Whether he was a part of it, I can't say, just don't count out the possibility of felony charges.
yeah what a swell guyWang Mandu wrote:I like what one of the co-founders is doing. He moved to Singapore in order to not pay US taxes on the sale and an article said he's been living it up quite well with models and booze. Living the dream.
he and schilling should team up in a new venture.Sorry if that doesn't jive with your Sunday school lessons but it's not like the other Facebook guy did anything remotely close to Schilling's blunders.Spooky Apparition wrote:yeah what a swell guy
Schilling's studio didn't make it though. They bought out Big Huge Games while that game was basically completed.Chad wrote:that game, kingdoms of amalur...was actually fun
