Hudson's final years detailed by insider

@ThrashN7

I still remember staying up until 5 am with my friends playing the first Super Bomberman with the multitap. That game, Kirby Superstar and Mario Kart pretty much was my middle school.

@Shockwave
Man, the year it came out; the multitap was the only thing I really wanted for my SNES. My mom couldn't find it by itself. So, that xmas; she bought the only other way to get it.. Coupled with Super Bomberman. I have loved that franchise ever since (except for Act Zero of course.) Then came Mario Party and Fusion Frenzy. Hudson made such great party games :( I'm so going to miss them.

@Shockwave Kirby Superstar... used to love game!
Hudson has made a lot of good games, it's reputation sadly destroyed by Act Zero and some other bad games out there is kinda weird.

You know... lots of other companies have done some mistakes... and are still there... *stares at Capcom and SNK*

@Lafazar

Ah yes, the whole NeoGAF incident. Yes, that is me.

It would have been embarrassing if it was true. If you read through to the end of that whole thread, it was revealed that the founder of NeoGAF actually got it wrong... I never worked on Borderlands.

I eventually documented all of it, which is a pretty fascinating look at how quickly wild accusations can spread on the net (IGN and some other big gaming sites ended up doing stories on it) before the truth catches up.

Truth be told, at least this was how I felt back then, I was more miffed that I never got my NeoGAF account back since I was banned. NeoGAF (Tyler) never bother to apologize, or reply to my emails to share his side of the story, or let people clarify the error made (he ended up locking the thread.)

Anyways, you can read about it here. Ah, another fascinating look into the gaming industry!

@JohnMasterLee Wow, you're right. I never saw the end of that thread before. In that case I apologize for what I wrote, since there is no absolute proof (well, there never was).

Still, i think you understand very well how the combination of your extreme display of excitement about the RPG features of Borderland (that pretty much no one shared or could even follow) and how you yourself advertised your profession on your homepage would raise the red flags that it did. It simply came off as very insincere.

And while Take 2 denied employing you, there is still the possibility that you worked on your own to show how you can do exactly what you described on your page. Of course it would be extremely stupid to do this with a username that easily tracks back to your page, but stupider things have been done in the past by marketers.

So I kind of understand why Neogaf would not reactivate your account.
