They have all his shillings?

Let me go ahead and be the first to ask it - do they have the bloody sock?

@sean lowery LOOOOOOLLLL

Wow thats some dedication. Then again if I was dictator of the world I'd probably funnel all of Earth's money into video game R&D too. So I guess I can't talk...

That's pretty ballsy of him...Wait, I want to play the pun game too.  That's pretty baseballsy of him.

Nothing against 38 Studios, but I hope they fail. I want Curt to lose all his money. God I hate that guy...

schilling is the man! luv the sox and used to play on his WoW server. it'd be so neat to see something awsome come from this and would demonstrate how gamers really do come from all walks of life!

It'd suck if all that money goes to waste.

What games have they even come out with.....I've never heard of them untill right this moment.

@KimboFife - no kidding. The guy's as right-wing Republican as they come, hates gays and lobbied against gay marriage in Massachusetts, and was buddies with George Bush. I can't imagine anyone in a creative, artistic industry wanting to work for that ***.

@ brozovich1980

They haven't came out with a game as of yet, they are currently working on one.  It actually sounds like a cool game, they have some really talented people working on the game.  

Go hard or go home i guess

talk about investing in your own work!

Good for him. He has another passion and luckily he has the capital to pursue it.

No you don't get weekends off!

@bosslugger

seriously dude? are you that stupid and discriminatory? you only play democrat-developed games? if thats the case, could you please let me know who is a democrat and who isn't in the industry? I'm also an idiot, and those kind of things are really important to me.

Now THAT'S a true Gamer. Throwing all that money at a business you love is awesome. I gotta support these guys.

@BigCityInc

IDK dude. Which is worse? Discriminating against someone because of a predilection they are born with, or discriminating against someone for being willfully hateful?

Nothing like voting with your pocket book I say, and that is what Bosslugger seems to suggest he/she will do. I'd be hard pressed to knowingly give my money to an admitted bigot myself.

(And many gamers may throw "gay" around like it's a meaningless word, but when you actively contribute and/or lobby against basic civil rights, that's the very definition of bigot.)

I actually had no clue about Schilling's support of this kind of hateful legislation, but I'm not a Phillies or Sox fan.

While I can't say this will necessarily stop me from checking out one of their games (I mean, if his studio is working with some wonderful developer whose work I want to support and play, I'll be torn), it may be the tie breaker if I'm on the fence.

@  Frogman1975

What's worse? Thinking that it's okay to discriminate against someone because they're discriminatory. That's the kind of logic that leads to conflict, in which nobody wins.

There's always a better way than hating each other, but hating is the easier path.

I try to separate politics and games, but it's kind of hard when you look at some of the particularly nasty positions that Schilling has taken in the past.   Unlike a certain right-wing radio host who shall remain nameless, I won't say that I "hope that he fails."  

But I will say that I most certainly will not be buying anything associated with this man.  

I've never heard of 38 Studios...  He might want to get his company a little better known before he puts so much into it.
