Not sure what all the fuss is about. At this point we don't have anything to go on except that it's a social networking platform that incorporates gaming. Lorne has always been about elevating gaming to a greater mainstream potential through innovative means. Calling it stupid at this point is absurd.
That being said, I understand the confusion/frustration. I'm frustrated too. Unfortunately Lorne and company don't have the luxury to focus on a singular idea because the money simply isn't there. Sure, it would be real nice if they could stick with Citizen Siege or Oddworld, but without the funding, they can't so much as employ a staff. The best we can hope for is that one or two of these ideas generate enough interest from a financier so they can in effect realize more of their Oddworld related projects.
That panel discussion was pretty cool as well. Lorne is quite the intellectual. Also noted the Aragorn resemblance.
