Marke gelle of CTP activision speaks out

January 31, 2001, 21:50

In a recent Gamespot Interview one off the Premier designer of CTP was quoted as saying about recent Complaints from the users "they think they can do a better job,those people at apolyton and civnation, thats why they dont have jobs and spend there time messing with our finshed Product" Also he added "the reason for there complaints is of there own doing .Bye modifying the game so much they ruined the final product"

I personally am shocked.....I thought the game sucked before i came crawling to apolyton for help.

Mr.Gelles remarks are irresponsible

Can you provide a link to this article? This doesn't sound like anything anybody I worked with would have said. And I don't know who Mr. Gelles is.

Sure WWW.Gamespot.com But its only reviews and downloads....you gotta subscribe to the magazine

So basically you tell us something, then don't provide the proof when requested. Also, to be dated Nov 12? Come on. You think all of us are as stupid as the original AI?

99% of the complaints from Apolyton didn't start till two weeks ago. The game wasn't even released in Australia then!!!

I have one additional note to make to this. The name Marke Gelle is not familiar to me. And he is not listed in the credits of either CTP or CTP2 (I waited to post this until after I checked that fact). So I don't know who this guy is, or what credibility he is supposed to have.

Mark Gelle was a famous 70's porn star who was fired for having the grammatical abilities of a diseased 3rd grader. This made the headlines as nobody had ever been fired from the porn industry for poor English abilities before. One headline read:

Nov12th !! I couldn't even buy it until Dec8th

ha ha

I think it does our cause no good with this bull.. At least Pyaray was willing to challenge it ... we can't be taken seriously if Activision is getting stupid complaints mixed in with the serious ones, cos I know, they will assume were all Jackass's..

In all fareness, I have not said that Marke Gelle is not an Activision person, only that I am unfamiliar with him and that he wasn't part of the CTP dev team. Nor have I said that Mr. Saddam didn't receive this article. Additionally, the original message said CTP, not CTP2. But I would like a more complete explanation of who he is, and if he really is part of Activision. And I question the validity of the article that Mr. Saddam has received, given that it says "designer of CTP", which he clearly was not.

Hi Pyaray .. nice to see your up good an early ...

As a programmer myself, I find it imposible to believe that any fellow coder would blame a user for a customisation fault, which I have allowed them in my code .. if it crashes, its my fault for not coding it correct .. As much as im upset with the people who made the decision to pull the plug on the patches .. I can't believe for a second that the coders/dev team would be so dumb to make this statement ... which is why I personally do believe its not a genuine article, and probably not even in existance (judging by the quality of Mr.Sadams previous posts)
