I have removed any potential flame war content from dayokay's post and a warning has been handed out. Next time, it will be an infraction.
If I can be proven wrong, then go ahead and do it. People don't always understand the attitude I have, but I am not being negative for the sake of being negative. Look at all the negative reception from fan campaigns and then try to tell me they're well received. I've said what I said based on information around me, and it just so happens that a negative view on fan campaigns is born. If we had a lot of well designed campaigns, or at least half of them were fairly to very well designed, then naturally the view on fan campaigns would be more positive.
You seem to act as if I enjoy the lack of production of quality campaigns. I must assure you that that is not actually the case. But just because I want a well designed campaign doesn't mean I can have it. It's like DKII, I want the game to be good because it's my childhood game, yet I cannot run from the fact that it is badly designed and recommend it to others, it wouldn't really be fair. Just like now.
If I went ahead and supported the notion of creating more fan campaigns, yet we did not possess the capability of producing and I knew that, then I would effectively be lying to make people happy for the moment only to see everyone sad in the long run after a failed attempt and wasted effort. It's a lack of foresight.
What is there to lose? Well, we hurt the reputation of fan campaigns even further and waste both time and energy into something we can't do at this time, instead of putting that time and energy into doing something that we know we can do.
