Well I don't know any thing about his ASL stuff, except for what I've read (and yes it's all been bad), but back in the day Wild Bill did some really great work in the Steel Panther World at War PC game mods.
If he's just trading on his name and turning out a sub par product, then that's kind of a sad thing to see....
He had a reputation in the Combat Mission community as well. It would be handy if the discussion about him was confined to just one or two threads - I posted about this auction in one of the threads, but for some reason Scott decided to start his one. As discussed in one of the earlier discussions (you can follow the tags at the bottom of the page) (and John brock participated IIRC) his "rep" in those early computer game communities may have been exaggerated a bit also. No doubt his work was very popular and I take anothing away from that. It wasn't built on historical accuracy though.
I have nothing for or against him personally; we exchanged emails in 2001 or 2002 about some SPR scenarios we had done for CM:BO. We definitely had different ideas on how to approach scenario and game design. I suspect his different design philosophy is well illustrated by his products on ebay. I own one of his Glory & Grief modules for ASL; it isn't something I would consider "finished" but it does, I think, reflect his unique outlook on gaming in general. There are fans of this outlook, and some of them have posted in the other threads, at least one of whom regarded his purchase positively.
Not defending WBW or his products myself, just saying that there are alternate viewpoints that are not being represented by the discussion so far. As always, let the buyer beware.
