Just saw this comment on JForce's challenge video:
obj7777:
I also can't believe you guys are challenging a guy of low status.

Wait what was the low status again?

Yeah, there's a clear lack of passion from the entire team. How can there be when it's all about the "sales"?

That is an epically childish video, I hope it is a joke for their sake I mean seriously talking up the fact that he disguised himself on these forums yet he still didn't get his facts straight. Making a video directing negativity and hatred towards someone who didn't say anything except for saying something along the lines of them being a bit arrogant if they think they're going to sell thousands, Gyro isn't responsible for what others post not that I saw that much serious negativity towards them from any other users in that thread. Oh well....

maybe its just me but I have always thought that it was a bad way to design a game around making money instead of designing a really good game because you have a passion for it and making a quality product weather it sells or not. More then likely a game being made to make a really good game would sell more then a game designed cause you want to make alot of money.

The best part of the entire situation is that he started it by posting (with his fake account) the quote that is currently in my signature.

Lol, that video was patheticly-funny :P I mean GyroVorbis is obviously going to win. Their engine is much more powerful and the game looks better and has more promise than Jforce's.

Oh and Jforce suck :D

Has anyone considered the possibility that judging from the questionable seriousness of they're videos they could in fact be very loyal fans
making an attempt at making sure you finish your game instead of getting bored, slowing down and eventually stopping all together?
Perhaps the real point of this "challenge" is so when/if you guys ever get to point complete and utter boredom you'll have yet one more reason
to push on and complete the game or actually lose to a new nicelordj.

On the other hand that may just be me thinking too much, Perhaps they really are just [insert preferred insult]... in which case fuck em.

Dayum.

JForce is getting ripped a new one in their YouTube comments. This totally backfired on them.

They're going to have to do some serious damage control to keep their subscribers.

A glitch?

They probably intended on that. Their dieing amount of viewers would increase ten-fold if gyro were to accept the challenge, and probably almost that much simply by his responding.

My theory is that the entire video was a scheme to gain viewers. I would laugh at the irony if they actually ended up losing them.

Its funny they are claiming they only meant it to be friendly. Guess they didn't realize their video would back fire on them.
