Talk:The All-Seeing Eye

I really think we need to implement a new cathegory "game scanners" which includes all those nifty little programs like Gamespy 3D/Arcade, Kali, QTracker, XFire, XQF and many more. This is a little too much for me as I am mostly a newby when it comes to advanced wikimagic. But if someone else starts the cathegory and puts up some templates for the upper programs then I'll put in some information. Crass Spektakel 23:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got the same idea last night (but I called this a Game server browser), so I created a category for this last night. -Kuckzul 10:04, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

lost chances behind TAS

Should we go deeper into the lost chances behind TAS? I mean absolutly everybody I know has stated that TAS was (and partially still is) years ahead in usability of its competitors. Especially in the TAS-Forums people always suspected some corporated back-stabbing or other dirty deals.

One might do that but all in all I think it is a weak objective. Though the original author and the forum admin gave some basic insight it mostly comes down to this: XFire becomes popular, Yahoo Gaming suffers, Yahoo buys TAS, Yahoo sues XFire, both settle on something and TAS dies: [1] - everything else is pure speculation. One might dig deeper but with the upper limited knowledge I doubt we can write a fair conclussion Crass Spektakel 21:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There wasn't any backstabbing or anything like that. The author got burnt out working on it, so he sold it. Yahoo didn't really know what to do with it so it stagnated and then died. XFire got sued because the guys who started it used stuff they worked on while at Yahoo (a couple of patents). No backstabbing, just a lot of mis-management.
