Shadow of the Eternals - Dyack talks criticism, new screens, trailer
Coming from a Polygon interview with Denis Dyack...
On terms of service issues...
"We were criticized on some of our terms of service, and they were identical to other people's terms of service, but for some reason, we had a lot of backlash, so we changed them. We were actually trying to model ourselves off the most successful [fundraisers], and they were identical things to those found in some very popular Kickstarters that raised millions. For whatever reason, people didn't like that. So what we've done this time is we've just modeled the Kickstarter around us. That was the biggest lesson we've learned."
On the lack of relationship between Silicon Knights and Precursor...
"No, they're not related in any way, and that's not the basis or the reason corporations are formed. Paul [Caporicci] formed Precursor Games. It's a completely separate company. It's got nothing to do with Silicon Knights. None of that is true whatsoever — you just have to look up the incorporation papers. At the end of the day, almost all, if not every rumor is pretty much unsubstantiated."
