Issues
editI have added more references. Not sure what to do about the "original research" flag, however. All info is taken from the references given. KR777 (talk) 06:13, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- KR777, I cleaned it up a bit, but here are some stark examples (parts of which I had to remove):
2014 hencewhile lead developer Rob McConnel took over leadership of the company.
- This cited a news article published in 2012, two years before the event happened.
Since Longbow Games is a developer independent of big publishing houses, its projects mainly emerged from the personal interests of its co-owners.
- The source does not say this anywhere and it is possibly synthesis. It is also unclear who the "co-owners" are.
In 2017/2018 Longbow yet took another turn with the creation the puzzle adventure game Golem.
- How did it "take another turn" when it, according to the foregone premise, develops whatever the co-owners want? This was also cited using a press release that I exchanged for an authored source.
Initially the company aimed to sell its titles via its own online store, but abandoned that approach later on, profering to sell via distribution platforms.
- The source only says that the company has (present tense) an online store; nothing about a shift in that regard or use of external platforms.
However, funding the development of larger, more complex projects, Longbow turned to other strategies.
- Unsourced/synthesis.
With its title Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar, in 2013/14 Longbow attempted Steam Early Access to gain some pre-financing and player input.
- In the linked interview, McConnell only cites feedback, which had otherwise been scarce, as the driving factor for putting the game on Steam Early Access, not funding.
- Additionally, I removed unreliable sources like MobyGames or duplicate sources. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 08:40, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
