foolm0r0n 05/14/18 10:50:16 PM #7:	Yeah if he stayed at Epic he could've been making UT4 and Fortnite... the same games, just successful. I think he actually ended up being a better designer than a business guy, even though he was such a public personality. The team had so much talent but pretty much all the business decisions were bad. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:901356778] in Boss Key P...

WazzupGenius00 05/14/18 11:16:59 PM #10:	I'm not sure how much control over business decisions he actually had with Lawbreakers after they signed their deal with Nexon.

foolm0r0n 05/14/18 11:33:12 PM #11:	Nexon was very late in the process I think. I was following boss key since day 1 and the game's design when it released seems pretty on point to their original vision. The game just wasn't that good. Although I don't think the Nexon deal helped much at all... I mean, they were supposed to get all the player connections and marketing, and didn't get it. When you're indie, tying your success to a 3rd party like that usually defeats the point and gives you the worst of both worlds. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:901358888] in Boss Key P...
