It continues to amuse me that the same people who are painting Jagex as the archvillain in this giant fiasco, are raising Spinner to approximately the same level as Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Might I remind you that AD2460 has been in development for longer than Jagex has owned PA? That is to say, since May 2010, with hints dropped as early as January 2010? A solid ****ing 3 years?

That in those three years, while Jagex certainly hasn't turned PA into a shining beacon of hope for all, AD2460 has received about $230,000 in grants from the Norwegian government, and are now asking for an additional $150,000 in crowd funding to "polish" it? We're talking about a goddamn browser game here!

That the 200 players Jagex is "milking" bring in a grand total of $5500 a year, for a company that has yearly revenue of $70,000,000, which brings about a profit of $16,300,000 a year? That in fact, the most probable reason Jagex are now dropping PA is that PA is quite frankly too much of a hassle to keep running, for practically no gains?

Are you all ****ing insane?

He would have given them a coy little wave if the roof hadn't collapsed just then. Mary then found himself in the middle of an understandably shocked family's kitchen table. So he gave them the coy little wave and realized it probably would have been more effective if he hadn't been lying on their turkey. Last edited by Mzyxptlk; 26 Jul 2013 at 17:35.*
