Isn't it time to stop whoring out the 40k license and give it back to some good devs?

+1

its like they dont know what to do with it

just take your minatures game and convert it into digital - thats all most people want

I think they think they know exactly what they are doing. I believe they aren't making the game everyone wants because they are afraid it will kill their tabletop sales. Thus, we keep getting this irrelevant licensed crap.

but why not convert it to digital with 2 races and sell extra races as DLC like everyone else does

sure theyre worried a digital game will kill minature sales, but digital minature sales will get them the dough back

i think thats what the other tabletop games conversion is doing but i forget its name for now

Hard to think of a game thinner on content than a chess game...

^^In the grimdark future, there is only...The Game of Life : 40K version!

-Will your loyalty remain pure, or will you start along the path to heresy in order to obtain a better job to feed your growing brood?
-Can a hard-working Tyranid Hormagaunt make his way in a universe dead set against understanding him?
-Will you be able to manage family life and work requirements while also setting time aside for proper WAAAGH!, or simply lose control over your Ork Warband?

Let the fickle spinner decide the fate of the universe in the richest tapestry to grace the Game of Life yet!

You guys shouldn't pawn off bad puns so obviously...it's like knight and day around here sometimes.

I think their best bet would be to spend pretty much all their effort on the rendering engine to get great animations and as little effort as possible on the chess side. Just make it a client for UCI engines, and possibly make a simple engine for it or just ship it with available open source engines.
