Say a company if you want to play and then you will be randomly assigned one of those companies.
Who wants to play Mas said EA Zero said Square Enix Balla said Level-5 Cappa said Rare Drunka said Retro Jim said Bandai Namco Muss said Midway Jay said Capcom

I'll play. Maybe we should PM our companies so they can be more surprising?

masofdas needs an Editor-in-Chief for his posts. Can somebody else explain this to me?

I didn't want to be rude, but like Cappa, I honestly didn't understand the OP. Sorry Mas, this looks like the sort of game I'd love to play, I think - but it hurt my brain trying to understand what you meant.

All I got from that OP is that Balladeer does not like Nintendo at all, and covertly thinks that Sonic Adventure 2 is a better game that Super Mario Galaxy.

So basically, we throw our hat into the ring and get assigned a developer and say what we'd do with said developer's games and what direction we'd take them in if we were in charge - is that the gist of it?
If so, count me in!

Sure, I'll give it a go! Do we suggest developers or are we given them?

Everyone who signs up also suggests a developer, and Mas randomly assigns them.

We'd better suggest our developers in the open, then, so that there are no double submissions. In that case...

... I'd like to nominate Square-Enix.

Okay sorry if it was confusing, but what Jay said.
The reason it's no PM just in case some people say the same company.
It seems Drunka & Jay want to play, just say a company each.

Man, I still feel sad whenever I see that Microprose logo. Them and Psygnosis were quite a big part of my childhood gaming.
Put me down for someone crazy, Midway will do - I still have some of their games somewhere.

Midway went out of business years ago Muss, and you don't get them, you get one drawn out of the ones put forward to make it more interesting.

A Google search suggests that most of Midway's IP's were bought by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Maybe they should go into the pot instead?

I personally wouldn't mind if dead companies were included as it'd make the game more interesting.

Point taken and I guess the persons plan could be like SNK's or Playtonics, if they get Midway.

Hope we're going to start this soon! One question: are we assuming that we need to carry the company on a course that makes it profitable, or do we have theoretically infinite (so long as it's reasonable) budget and time available, or somewhere in between? I'd assume more of the latter, because not all of us have economics/business management experience.

Whoever I get, I will try to come up with a good business plan. The only non-Maths subject I've ever taught (for a year-long course, that is - I've done a tiny number of French conversation classes) was a close cousin of Business Studies, so I am a total expert.
