A small note from a guy who didn't vote for this project

Hey all,

I really like that people are excited that Vic2 is in development. This feels like an interesting and exciting project for all of us, however it is no secret I voted for another project from the Paradox dev team.

Johan assured me our fans want this project, and so did you (forum people) in a poll on this forum.

So in brief; I think this project never will see profit (reason is simple Vic1 was a terrible launch). Johan thinks it will. Johan and his team have the responsibility to create a good game and of course we hope that you will buy it since this was the most voted-for title in our poll.

So, what do I bring to the table except for whining? I have promised the dev team (and checked with my family) that I am shaving my head if this project ever sees profit. AND post pictures of it here in the forum.

We will have a budget meeting in the coming two weeks to see how many units we need to sell to reach our break-even; and keep you posted. Progress reports will follow.

And yes, I am serious.

Cheers,
Fred

 

Ha! I was going to buy it anyway

 

I already know 8 people who are gonna buy the game..

 

Magic 8-Ball says "Signs point to yes."

 

This is very interesting! I can only speak for myself, but I look forward to proving you wrong and seeing the pictures of your shaved head!

 

Yet another reason to buy the game.

 

How could you vote against it, it'll be amazing.

I'm confident you will have to shave your head.

 

That is a pretty good idea Fredrick. Show the consumers how much confidence you have in the product and encourage people to buy more. I shall enjoy seeing your bald pictures!

 

What project did you vote for? If it isn't a secret that is.

 

Fredrik Universalis - be the CEO of a small Swedish computer games company and chart its progress to world domination.

 

A World War II first-person shooter, it's where all of the profits are these days.

 

Sounds awesome, you should have gone for that instead Johan! :rofl:

 

Oh yes, excellent

 

Hey brilliant well shows confidence in the company not being run my maniachial robots from beyond the moon like all the big names are [or faceless capitalists whatever you want to call them.] to see the C.E.O. on the forum and interacting with the community, seriously thats awesome.

 

O_O

We really need to set up a grass-roots-ing militia or something >_>

 

Hehe, this will be interesting.

Maybe you could sticky this thread

 

Maybe you should look into making that wager part of your marketing strategy complete with the promise of posting the pictures on the forums for all to see

 

Just curious, how do we know that he doesn't already have his head shaved so that this is just a marketing trick?

And yes, I am that paranoid

 

This is me

However, my wife tells me I'm better-looking in real life

Edit: yes it's free to say shaving my head would be an improvement.

 

Lol, ok I'm convinced now
