Stargate fans really are the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Urban_GTA_6 As a profesional FQA tester and dev in learning, this is still the best example I've seen of why it's impossible to find & fix every bug when making a game: https://t.co/u4lFglPchZ
Stargate needs YOUR help! ✨This your daily reminder to keep asking Amazon MGM to reverse their latest decision regarding the show. Respectfully put out there WHY.
We and MANY others want Stargate from the OGs @martingero@bradtravelers@BaronDestructo who gave us fans HOURS of Stargate television over the years.
The show WAS aimed at a broader audience. It was marketed as such in the initial video drop for the announcement.
You can respect what’s come before and start a new.
Stargate Atlantis did it. Stargate Universe got there in season 2. This team knew how to do what you needed Amazon?
Executive musical chairs should not be the reason this got cancelled. It was fine before? Why not now?
We need to bring this back! So NEW fans can enjoy this franchise with us. #stargate
I started watching SG-1 at age 15. I was the first in the family to start, but one by one they all joined me. Then one day, even my Dad joined. NOTHING on television held my Dad's interest. He never went to the movies. It was the first time I'd ever connected with him in this way. Not long after he started, he came home one day with the first season DVD box set, and the whole family started watching from the beginning. He kept buying the sets, until we caught up with the currently airing show, and then we watched like clockwork as a family every Friday night, with pizza and soda.
You have to understand, that is a CRAZY thing to type out about my Dad. He never did stuff like that. He was tough to connect with about something that wasn't mechanical or construction. I can't think of a single other fun thing he did with us that wasn't what a kid would consider "chores" or "work." My siblings and I treasured those Friday nights like nothing else. It was an entirely new experience, having something like that where he would quote the lines to you in the middle of the day (Teal'c lines were his favorite, especially the infamous "undomesticated equines" line).
My Dad has been buried for almost 8 years now. My oldest two kids barely remember him and the other two never met him. We recently watched both SG-1 and Atlantis as a family. It's been an emotional ride, sharing this with them yet wishing Grandpa was around to share it with them too. My kids ADORE Stargate. My girls have crushes on Daniel Jackson and John Sheppard. My youngest son wants to BE Jack O'neill. They cried when Daniel ascended the first time. They were over the MOON at the idea of a new series in the works to enjoy. I haven't had the heart to tell them the news that the whole thing has been called off.
Save Stargate!
I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE
Twisting things a little hard there, aren't we?
That's a bad faith post.
Nobody has to abandon anything, and options do exist. More options than those can easily exist. They can exist because Steam made it possible.
It's no exaggeration to say that Steam effectively saved PC gaming while fighting for it the entire time.
Steam is also a launchpad for developers. Of course it's going to be stocked well. They opened the door to everyone. Nothing stopping others from doing that.
Publishers creating walled gardens is on them. They keep people out, they want data, they want to run 24/7, and their launchers are clunky and half-baked.
They're not trying.
Big vendors using undesirable account models is on them, as well. Microsoft's service is a mess and invasive, but does offer enough to give people a place to go. The same goes for others, in their position.
They're not trying, either.
Those guys want to collect you and keep you to themselves. They didn't have to fight the fight Steam did to build this industry from scratch. Steam built the world in which they operate, nail by nail.
To this day, Steam just lets you buy games, play games, and launch games, and it gets out of your way. They're not taking over your machine, and they're not trying to control your experience.
There's also an alternative we all know, and it's a big one:
Gog grew in Steam's shadow by doing things right. Now you've got a great choice if you don't like Steam, but most of us are happy to use both, because both are great.
That's the point:
In good faith competition, options aren't trying to steal you away from others and lock you in their ecosystem.
Neither company does that.
Steam was already absolutely massive when Gog showed up with a few retro titles. It was cute; a neat idea that was small potatoes but scrappy and ready to hustle.
It had something Steam didn't have, and it took root and grew. Steam stayed in it's own lane.
That Gog hustle is what it takes. It's what separates a good, sustainable, and growth-oriented business from the opposite; just as Steam had the entire time.
Steam didn't step on them. Steam never tried to downplay them, and they didn't suddenly lock up the ecosystem to prevent migration. As always, they stood by and let the industry and new ideas grow.
They exist in harmony, and Gog is getting big titles, now, with advantages Steam can't offer using their business model. These days, buying from Gog or Steam is making a choice that both freely allow.
There is always room for another Gog. People just aren't trying. They'd rather score a user and keep him in their ecosystem, or just not put forth the effort.
Here's what people who don't know business can't wrap their brains around:
Long-term risk and effort.
It took Steam literal decades to get where they are, against all odds. Everything stood against them, but they fought fairly through many of their users' entire lives and survived with grit and dedication to service.
Odds are, if you're reading this, they were fighting to keep your industry alive before you were born, and nobody trusted them. All odds were against them, and yet they pushed forward.
If Steam hadn't pushed through nearly impossible obstacles, your only option today would be to sit in front of a TV with a Nintendo.
When they first showed up, I wouldn't let them anywhere near my computer, and I wasn't the only one. They had to work for years just to reach a point of even mild acceptance; not even trust.
Just acceptance.
Now, they're big. So what? They're not standing in anyone's way, and they don't offer anything ten years ahead of anyone. It's a simple, fair market.
That's all.
Their is no killer feature others can't implement. There is no secret technology they claim that makes them impenetrable. They don't carry a shield.
The functions themselves are not advanced or world-changing. It was the effort that was world-changing.
They fought the big fight, leaving room for everyone else. If anything, simply by going through all those years of toil, risk, and sacrifice, they opened the door for competition that never would have been possible without them.
Everyone doing business in this industry owes steam for doing what they would not. They could have, but they didn't. They still can, but they don't.
Steam started off as suspected malware. Never forget that. They didn't get an ounce of help up the ladder.
They just ran a solid, fair business for decades.
NEW DEMAND TO @AmazonMGMStudio
Pick an option
1) Let the Stargate creators make a new show
2) Release the rights so fans can do it
Choosing anything else is selfish and a waste
🧵1/2 This day marks 2 years since #Everhaven was cancelled by @/ForteProtocol weeks before announcement and its 2024 Early Access. The reason? Bc Phoenix Labs didn't want blkchain tech in it, so Forte chose to cancel it. #BringBackProjectDragon#ProjectDragon#cancelledgames
