Steamforged Games Buys Warmachine! - What does it mean?
Рет қаралды 1,137
Ай бұрынThe Warmachine miniatures wargame has been struggling to make up ground since its disastrous fallback. Now, the story enters a new chapter as Privateer Press has sold the Warmachine intellectual property wholesale to UK developer Steamforged, who were originally behind the release of Guild Ball. Who are Steamforged? Where did they come from? Why did Privateer Press sell up and why to Steamforged? What does it all mean for the future of Warmachine?
I try to answer these and other questions by taking a deep dive into Steamforged Games.

"As a game it's... fine." Talk about damning with faint praise! 😁

Tbf to SFG, I'd say the same about a lot of games by bigger names than theirs. 😉

Guild Ball was (is) such a fantastic and fun game. It baffles me that SFG tossed it aside. It could be very competitive, but I played it more casually with my friends and we all had a blast. I always wished they had some kind of TTRPG spin off. The world they made was really cool. (Now, knowing the owners are major D&D 5e fans, I’m glad they didn’t do that since it likely would have been a D&D supplement and that would suck.) Anyway, seeing how SFG managed Guild Ball, it will take a LOT to make me trust them again. They clearly threw GB aside so they could focus on big budget (and half baked) licensed board game adaptations. One of my biggest hobby regret purchases was the Dark Souls Board Game. I went in heavily on it and it was…just not fun. It was not a good game. My group played it a few times, got the rules down, and collectively decided we didn’t want to touch it again.

Tbf to SFG, they put GB aside, I think, to focus on making money, which isn't inherently irrational. If WMH can be turned to a reasonable profit, we might well see enthusiasm for GB pick up again.

Great video, very insightful. However, the audio quality is quite bad, it's even worse when the music plays.

Had to stop for the awful audio quality ... it's a pity cos your commentary are always worth listening... still you have to improve audio quality or flatly invest in a good mic 😅
