Re: The unbearable heaviness of delayed reward
Posted By: FyreWulff <mkidder@gmail.com>Date: 10/31/10 10:13 a.m.

In Response To: The unbearable heaviness of delayed reward (Kermit)


: I honestly think that Korman was being selfish and grabbing the lionshare of
: the pleasure of the hunt for himself. I hear that he's done wonders for
: the Halo CE community, which unfortunately, I couldn't be a part of, but
: did he find easter eggs? The bulk of Halo 1's easter eggs were found the
: old-fashioned way, through luck and pluck, and like the bard said,
: "nothing pleaseth like rare accident." More words from Will:
: "If all the world were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious
: as to work."

: That's what these easter eggs have been boiled down to, someone examines the
: code, finds enough information to uncover the eggs, posts how to do it,
: everyone follows the instructions, gets some momentary fun, and then it's
: over.

: Ideally, this sort of egg is a community-building exercise that lasts weeks
: or longer, where different people bring different clues and ideas together
: until someone puts the pieces together and unlocks it. 100 hours by an
: individual was not required. It's obvious that Bungie intended this to be
: figured out within the context of the game. Why deny them and us this?

: To those who say they don't have time, well, then, good for you. You have a
: life! Enjoy it, and don't obsess about flying a pelican TODAY. I
: wholeheartedly disagree with those who say this egg never would have been
: found. Considering all the clues we had, I'd have given it a week, maybe.

: I realize that it is the nature of digital content that little or nothing can
: be done to prevent this, but in my ideal world there would be something
: like a hacker's honor code where game code was off-limits for six months
: to a year. This really wouldn't have bothered me a year from now (but
: there's no way this easter egg would've gone a year undiscovered).

: There may be eggs in the code that are intended to be found there. I don't
: know. I guess ideally hackers would see themselves as having privileged
: information and at least coordinate with Bungie what they should share
: when. Let's let everyone partake in the sense of discovery.

Which is why I look forward to releasing a game via OnLive - I can stuff it with eggs, and since people only have a video stream, they can't hexviewer all the secrets out of it in 3 days.
