How Angry Would You Be If BI was Bought by Greedy Companies & ARMA Reduce to Run&Gun

[Phantom Six 25]

I was just bored so I decided to ask "How angry would you be if Bohemia Interactive was bought by some greedy company (Activision/Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft for example) and then ARMA series become degenerated into a COD clone with straight up run & gun, linear gameplay and story, lacking dedicated server, and becomes what Operation Failpoint Sunken Dragon & Rusted River would be or worse.

This fate has happened to Red Storm Entertainment and its Tom Clancy's series when Ubisoft bought it and Westwood and C&C series when EA bought it.

And yes, I do know that this will not happen to BI, but just saying a what if.

I'll take the middle-lane and boycot any damn big phish company which would dare to take over BIS, and has the smelly guts to touch and degrade Arma XYZ-version in the year 1234-whatever, crapping it down into a run-gun bubbleburster!

[froggyluv 2135]

Happy.

I hate thinkin games :mad:

I assume this is an overtly silly thread, so I would be happy, because I would love to see grown men break down in tears :)

[Phantom Six 25]

why is it okay to post something like this here when its offtopic? Or not really?

Come again?

Let's try a new one.

How angry would you be if all these dumb polls went away?

My answer: pretty damn happy.

[Phantom Six 25]

I never thought it was silly until I reread the poll. In this case, I apologize for this and I might as well let this thread die.

Why would I be angry at another company for acting in character, according to the standards of the industry? I would be angry at BIS.

[Prydain 1]

If the company forced the BIS employees to wear compulsory merkins, I'd probably spaff in excitement.

[MissileMoose 10]

I'd like BIS to be bought out by Infinity Ward or Codemasters.

[W0lle 1050]

Removed the most stupid poll option and made the poll automatically closed after 30 days. There is really no need to keep that open any longer.

[maddogx 13]

Hooray, troll bait polls are awesome!

Gets my vote.

Gets my vote.

:) hehe.

[Cyper 18]

I would go postal on that company. :mad:

It's a ridiculous thought. Just think about it: EA games, or Infinity, taking over the whole brand to make their own sequels. Would they do it if they were offered to buy the Arma brand? And, how would they do it? Would they try to keep it realistic or move it out of the 'boring' simulation pigeonhole?

Well...you saw what happened where CM took OFP....

Removed the most stupid poll option

Did it happen to say "commit suicide"?:rolleyes:

[vilas 477]

heheh

taking BIS by "greed company" would mean:

- only specops in black vest in desert area games/missions,

- only top-notch new US weapons + AK47 in opfor hands,

- monthly DLC $10 because of lack of Mission Editor and support for Addons ,

it would end OFP for ever

it would mean ... DR/RR

Hm... I wonder, if this forum's community able to buy a licence for ArmA2 engine and then continue to develop own game:) If the things turn this way as topicstarter said.

polls should be moderator or developer only, so many stupid polls lately

[Perforator 10]

My anger would be immeasurable, my eyes would roll, I'd start making loud growling noises, my fury would be uncontrollable! It would trigger a chaotic effect inside my brain, special forces and tanks would be required to prevent me from inflicting physical harm upon the new management.

Not to scale.
