2. They've been quite good to McGee over the years. He's even admitted so himself before in comments and replies. American feels' the same way I do (to an extent, probably).
3. I'm pretty sure AMR was given the greenlight a very long time ago, but it was a small team with no a lot of progress made quickly. In the end, a lot of time may have been wasted before the end game.
4. If EA were to remove the Alice IP from their Property, they would likely sell it rather than give it away. McGee definitely could not afford the Alice IP all by himself. Even with crowdfunding, I don't think he'd meet the goal. It's an EA franchise that may even go into millions, depending on how much the franchise makes with new releases.
5. But Mario and Zelda get regular releases. It was a risk bringing out AMR because Alice had seen no action in fifteen years. It's an old franchise with no regular outputs. Since Mario was existed, there has not been a single year where Mario hasn't received his own game. Zelda games also come out fairly frequently. Alice was a massive shot in the dark and still is.
1. I personally don't see what to respect a company for its greed for money. Sure I can understand that they need money to flourish, but when it comes to EA, that ain't the only case.
2. That may be so. But often I've understood that EA still has lots to learn when it comes to generosity etc.
3. That may have been so too. But at the same time, if EA really understood and knew that they were a very small team, they should have been more understanding and considerate and given them more time. Have you seen the Beta AMR trailer, it shows more of what we could have had (not that what we have now is bad), the same so did the AMR Artbook show.
4. Sure, this thing I can understand and all and I don't have much or something at all to say against this. But even so, it's at the same time cruel. McGee was after all the one who came up with his version of Alice after all and created it and gave it life, alongside with Chris Vrenna and other artists and program artist etc.
5. It depends. The smaller Mario franchises like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario sports etc, get more regular releases, same with some Zelda titles, like Hyrule Warriors and some handheld games etc. But when it comes to the bigger games in both Zelda and Mario... Who know how many years they planned to make it all and worked with it all? There's also many Zelda games they have postponed before, Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword too, for example. I also think it's sad that Alice is not more popular because it is a damn good game. If people could overrate shooting-and killing games less and open their eyes to real and deep storied games like Alice, Zelda, Assassin's Creeed etc, then perhaps the world would be different.
