Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:
"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."
"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."
"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."
"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."
"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."
Why are corporate execs like this?
Hey Stargate Fans please let @amazon and @AmazonMGMStudio know how you feel about them cancelling #Stargate
They MOCK us. They think they don't need us. Let them know what you think of that.
I won't be watching ANY other Stargate that is created without the OG creators /Gero being involved.
I'm DONE with studios SHITTING ON THE FANS AND KILLING IPS WE LOVE.

Remember when fans saved The Expanse by flying a plane past Amazon HQ? Can we like do that for Stargate? Bezos enjoyed The Expanse does he not like Stargate too?
"executives were concerned it would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's dedicated fanbase."
Aka they will eventually shop the franchise around until someone writes something terrible for them instead... See the lotr show or star trek on Paramount for examples.
Amazon has canceled Martin Gero's new Stargate series. The show had completed a 20-week writers room and was in pre-production in the UK.
The stated reason: Amazon executives were concerned it would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's dedicated fanbase.
They killed a Stargate show because it was made for Stargate fans.
Gero spent five years on SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi — architects of 15 of the franchise's 17 seasons — were consulting producers. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were executive producers.
Amazon says it still wants to develop Stargate, possibly with a showrunner without franchise history who can give it "a fresh new perspective."
The fans who waited 15 years since Universe was canceled just had their answer.
@Zeenith_FPS@r8ers20021 The problem with this is your statement doesn't always mean streamers... Streamers can be clouded by the need to make content (or even money) and form their opinions based on that sometimes. Not saying that's you, I don't even know you. Just saying: Your statement is correct BUT.
@vLs_BF@EA_DICE@DRUNKKZ3@make_good_game Real question doesn't everyone call this "visual recoil" ? That is, the "recoil" that affects your gun or sight animations only, and not the actual recoil values set to the weapon? We had this in BF1 majorly, and I think it was ruined down part way into bf4.
@Uniting_ps You can do this in every other game including 6... Nobody wants to admit that bf6 is basically bf3 and bf4 like everyone cried for for years so they're complaining just to complain.
The coolest orbital animation I've seen of Artemis 2
Just really shows you how far away they're flying today and also how precise they need to be to go to the moon
Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
@nikgeneburn Tried 2 PVE scav runs. Game locks up and crashes to desktop + followed by either/or graphics driver crashing and windows explorer needing restart. Cannot restart bsg launcher until full reboot after this. I am unable to play the game since the update it seems.
