Freelancer as I Saw It

[Warhawk]

What practical changes would you do if you were in charge? You've written a lot of passionate theory but I am now wondering what you'd do.

Nothing, because I'm not in charge, don't have to be in charge, and won't be in charge, and that's okay. I'm posting theory about underlying design and production for the sake of airing out my mind and being done with it. Part of that is a history lesson in FL mods as I saw them rise and fall. Unsaid are the examples of tabletop games, pet projects and even real life companies I witnessed striking gold and going up in smoke, all of which informed these ideas over the past ten years. Where mistakes were made, I hope others can learn from them. Where successes were had, I hope others can run with them.

It's also selfishly cathartic to finally voice my ideas, even if they're attacked, because at least they'll be off my chest and off my mind. Maybe then I can enjoy myself here, in that little corner of Texas.
