Staying with the delays and lack of action part of the topic......
So .....when I ask JJ straight to his face at PPE 2011 as only he, I and one other person were sitting at a table having a coffee and I ask him "how concerned are you that after promising a date ( of March or April at that stage ) that if you DONT have the game by then, that this hobby will instantly start comparing you to Wayne Gillard and the infamous MM remake debacle".............I could see unhappiness in his eyes that I ( or it would seem anyone ) even dared to ask a question like this..........he looked me fair in the eyes and said "the difference between Gillard and us is that I will have our game out on time” ( end quote )
That was 3 promise dates ago.
And THATS why people get sceptical in a hobby that already has a history of promises , promises, promises..........having been spoken at like I was some type of fool for questioning him initially I personally I give zero leeway for the endless delays on this game. Overpromising and under-delivering is the most absolute dumbest thing ANY business person could ever do whether you are selling boiled lollies or cars or shoes or pinball machines.
My initial question to him WASNT to compare HIM to WG - but rather to seek his opinion on how he expected the hobby(ists) to react to him IF he failed to meet the deadlines HE WAS SETTING......he chose the answer that he gave me.
Meet the man, follow the progress trail and make your own mind up.
I know I did.
