Speaking of journalists, didn't Eurogamer insinuate they were going to be publishing some more info in regards to 22Cans/Godus sometime Soonus™? When was that, a week ago maybe? Seems like a bit of a long stretch to go without a follow-up; I don't think leading on this particular community/fan base in that way, and then making us wait more than a few days, is particularly smart nor the best tactic for garnering viewership - we're far beyond putting up with that behavior bullshart in any regard. If you're going to tease us, we'll likely bite your hand than take the bait.
Just get on with sharing the tasty morsels, otherwise don't toy with us until you're ready to.
I have a suspicion that its really not much more than we already know, and they're just dragging it out until they can get verification; which, again,if that's rthe case, they shouldn't have even hinted at it until they had more solid Intel. But anything would be better than this silence. Or, maybe its just some cockamamie, fluff interview meant to sell 22Cans blowhard narrative of "still working on Godus" and "squashing bugs". (Are we the bugs they're trying to squash?)
At least someone prompted Molyneux from his year-long slumber.

Maybe it's actually talking about the preceding three words. Which explains all those other articles they've been putting out. =P |

I'm picking that eurogamer will time their article to concide with the one year anniversary of their last article on Bryan. If so it should hit in a couple of weeks. |

It really is a shame there is no legal limit on the term/word "soon". (or is there? ooooEEEEEooooOOOOoooo)

I'm picking that eurogamer will time their article to concide with the one year anniversary of their last article on Bryan. If so it should hit in a couple of weeks. That had occurred to me as well, and you're probably right. But, why wait? Jump on that before any other media outlet gets to the story first; unless you don't really have anything substantial. Otherwise, stop baiting readers with vagueries and make it more reassuring with solid deadlines or a slight tidbit of a hint what's up. That line just tells me they haven't got all the details worked out yet. It really is a shame there is no legal limit on the term/word "soon". (or is there? ooooEEEEEooooOOOOoooo) Yeah, they could have used better phrasing and avoided the now trite and groan-worthy "soon" cliche. I would have used something along the lines of, "We'll have more on all three in just a few weeks.", or "We'll follow up with more info next month. Stay tuned!". At least that lets us know they have a lead, but need time to get it all sussed out. That's just good journalism, and not this ridiculous marketing "buzz-word" lingo we're plagued with these days. |
