Morning Snark

I promise I'll blog properly later, but here's some morning snark from my friend Seph, intially about Star Trek Online, finishing with Cryptic.

Seph: snrk
  God, that's going to be a trainwreck of epic proportions.
Ardy: Like you wouldnt believe.
  Never did get your take on the Cryptic Kitchen sink link

Seph: A change of that magnitude is like ED 2.0.
And seriously, an expansion pack ALREADY?
Ardy: No no, a single zone
Seph: That you have to pay for.
Ardy: That you have to buy, even if you're a lifetimer. In the 37-40 band where they've a huge lack of content (Lemuria is 34-40 and the kitchen sink patch was supposed to fix the lag, made the high level content even less accessible)
Seph: ...
Do... do they have brains? Common sense? Trains of thought? Because I'm sure that a platoon of dead babies would make better business choices than this, at this rate.
  Yes. Dead babies.
Ardy: They have the unholy fusion of Bill Roper and Jack Emmert.
Seph: THAT IS STILL A MORE PLEASANT THOUGHT THAT CRYPTIC RIGHT NOW.
Ardy: XD
Seph: THAN, TOO.
FINGERS SMASHING INTO KEYBOARD WITH RAAAAAGE
TYPOS IMMINENT
Ardy: So blogging this
Seph: HULKSEPH APPROVES

Seph:  But, uhhh... yeah.
Not all that smart of a move, really.
From a strictly-business perspective?  I get it.  From a game developer perspective, they're seemingly taking every bad PR move they can.
I honestly have heard very little good press about CO in some time.
