I don’t think I’ve ever seen a headline that didn’t call him Lord British.
17 daysHe’s getting the copyright back, but not the trademark. Tbh, I think it would be way cooler if we got a “new” Ultima game in like 2005 than today.

ha ha ha ha looks good on him, selling our cultural legacy to capitialists
He’s a scam!! I am a shroud of the avatar donor, it had potential but he took the money and ran. He went to outer space instead finishing the development of sota. It was an awesome game, I loved it. It’s ruined. He will likely put the bare minimum into ultima, before fleeing with a big bag of cash.

we’re in 2026. guess how he’ll do it. why yes you were right

He went to outer space instead finishing the development of sota.
He definitely handled SotA very poorly, but that’s just not true. He went to space in 2008, 5 years before SotA was even announced.
that’s the most ai-generated article i’ve read in a while, wow…
I remember when an entire server killed his character during a live in-game event. Still find it funny he didn’t have godmode on.
iirc there was no god-mode at the time. Thats probably the event that prompted it. You’re talking about when that player pick pocketed that scroll off of someone else in the audience and cast it on Lord British right? That story is so wild.
Never played any of the games, but I’ve been watching a YouTube series about the history of the series, and would love to play a modern title!

It’s a great series. The thing that bothers me is seeing how EA’s always had predatory practices and how the games industry has always had the issues we’re seeing today but on a smaller scale.
It’s basically the same thing every product goes through under capitalism - when the ultimate goal is to make as much capital as quickly as possible, eventually everything profitable gets bought up to be squeezed of its profits until it stops making money, and is then abandoned for the next thing. EA is just a product of a system designed to incentivize their exact business strategy, and there are many more like them.
Knew it would be Majulaar without clicking lol. All his videos are good but he absolutely ascended on the UO video. It’s an all timer!

I would normally be VERY happy about this, but I saw the mess that he made of Shroud of the Avatar. That doesn’t fill me with a lot of hope.

Some of my first memories were of watching my parents play Ultima 4. :D
Sometimes I wonder if the Ultima games were some of the first open-world games.

Ultima 6 was my first real love for the series but I loved 7 the most. I loved the magic carpet in 7 as a kid.

Training Sherry in Dex and Str and giving her twin boomerangs was hilarious in 6.
Down with EA, they killed PS3 Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare servers while leaving xbox 360 servers up. They hate poor people.
