Forum Overview :: Go Back to Quake :: Prediction: failure

[quote name="Ray of Light"]I just got my key a couple weeks ago. So far I've been unable to play it. I have seen the config screens. Make no mistake, John Carmack puts the J in my WWJD, but I don't see how this can catch on. 1) Once you've committed to downloading and running an installer, there's no good reason to return to the browser post-install. There are many disincentives. (for one, Intellipoint cannot distinguish web browsing from Quake Live, so your mouse button bindings will be non-useful in one or the other). Poker sites, who do viral gaming about as well as anyone, have long understood this principle. 2) No bindings for /kill (noob), no multiple weapons per key. 3) "Skill assessment" haha. Even before Quake Live, in Q3, better players knew better than to bring out the A game straightaway. This will <b>never work</b> for its stated purpose. [/quote]
