The point of showing alternate viewpoints is for it to be a more realistic approach seeing how nothing is one sided. That way the reader can put understand both sides of the fence and pick which one they can understand best. Glasslands didn't do that.
The only reason you are saying you "understand now" is because i went through the trouble of pointing it out. If you actually fully read my post before replying you would see that i have been repeating the exact same thing.
It wouldn't be "embarrassing" seeing how this is an internet forum and it is well established we don't get along. It would actually be expected, you clearly don't know either of us.
Karen Also states that she is a reporter not a writer and that she likes re-building people from the ground up.
Business is extremely simple, seeing how the entire point is to make alot of money with little effort. It is how you go about that which makes it complicated. And It has something to do with the discussion because you claimed "microsoft wouldn't let her near halo if she wouldn't do well with it". Which is when i said they don't care long as they make money.
If you don't even remember what you are typing how do you expect to carry this conversation on?
Don't assume that because I'm not stooping to your levels of childish retorts, that I'm admitting that I didn't understand what you said. I understood what you meant the whole, I reiterated what I asked in an attempt to make YOU answer my initial question, since you've spent 3 pages avoiding it.
She 'builds' characters from the ground up because she doesn't write stories for an IP as a fan, doing so would cloud her stance on the story and write something that wouldn't appeal to everybody. Had you read into what I quoted, you would've seen that she quit writing for Lucasarts because they were retconning her work in the Clone Wars cartoon for no reason. Many, many SW fans support her work, even professed fans of the Mando people. If you put alot of effort into writing stories for an establised franchise, and they turned around and negated your work, you'd be angry too. Furthermore, on that point, Lucasarts has to approve the general plot lines of each book. Chewbacca dying, Anakin Solo dying, Mara Jade dying, Jacen Solo becoming a Sith Lord-all controversial issues that were vetted by LA. Don't blame the author for her employers not being happy with her work when they approved it all to begin with.
If Microsoft only cared about the money, they wouldn't have created an entire studio almost entirely comprised of Halo community vets to helm all future Halo work. Your 'business' model is nothing of the sort: the point of a business is to provide a service that is in demand, for a reasonable price to the consumer. If they were truly money-grubbing, people like you and I wouldn't support their products, but we obviously do.
And the problem with me not being able to follow parts of this argument is because you have the grammar structure skills of a preschooler. It's atrocious. At least have the intelligence to counter me point by point and make it coherent, and not like an angry 6th grader.
Good job getting reamed out by Wolverfrog, by the way.
