Oh Id also like to know where the"tens of millions of dollars" went?
Is it possible to use the "tens of millions of dollars" to offer refunds.
It feels like peter made a shell game, stripped various gaming communities of in excess of $10m dollars with absolutely no concern for creative merit or the utility consumers derive from the game.

Peter want to do the office webcam thing again too.... not sure why, can't say it was particularly entertaining or insightful to watch when it was done previously. Yeah the webcam was indeed pretty useless. Yet some people seemed to enjoy it. |

I'd like to know what Jack actually does at 22cans. Is it true he is Peter's pet?

Don't the videos all have to be edited for content and stuff? I don't mind editing the videos  Yeah but doesn't Peter the Great have to audit it first? Um what in Peter's history of statements and interviews etc makes you believe he spends any time deliberating what to say to the public...... He pretty much fires from the hip, I've never once seen him audit any videos. I suspect the thinking is more along the lines of having to block out the time for this stuff, more than any sort of careful planning of what's said or the like. In the past we've had small delays in some of this stuff related to that, alongside overlooking questions here and there in the process and so on. There was also some delay on our end of herding cats' for queries, of course, but still a fair amount over on 22cans' end too. |

My favourite was when Peter left without reviewing what was it SamVT's update and we didn't hear from 22Cans again for what felt like a long time. |

I was talking specifically about the video updates I had a hand in getting pushed out. However, I don't doubt in the least that there have been more substantial delays that I've overlooked either from not being present at the time or turning my attention away from the trainwreck. =P |

Well without Peter involved getting video updates done should be fairly fast and straightforward. Being studio head, Peter always has got a bunch of stuff going on, always multiple people clamoring for his time and it's just really difficult to sync the time with him to get these things done. Something always crops up and it gets bumped to another day. We were meant to get the video done last week, but things have been constantly getting in the way. It's scheduled for tomorrow, so fingers crossed.

For being so busy, nothing comes from him beyond a huge string of interviews and releases that barely resemble what actually comes out of his projects. For 2 years, he's had ONE project to work on and getting any sort of reliable information has been next to impossible. Is just he a media prima donna? Is he running around from sycophant to sycophant stirring up media attention? I just don't get his role in any of this. He hasn't made a plan. He's not actually coding. His direction has felt like a series of tosses at a dart board. Sure, you guys may see him all busy doing stuff. To us, he's a leaching blowhard that's run this project like he has no accountability and badmouthed us every step of the way. He's outright lied repeatedly and even his staunchest supporters out here have given up trying to make excuses for it. Looking at the current state of the project, it doesn't look like anything's changed significantly from when he was actually in charge, which makes me wonder if he's not still involved behind the scenes. I just can't fully trust any 22Cans representative because I know that anything being said is restricted by how "management" would treat it. |

Here is a question:
Do you actually have the resources to deliver changes to the game or will you be bug fixing/ios contenting adding for most of the time?
Its being claimed on steam that there are just two of you working on GODUS now, is this true?

I have to wonder what changed. We couldn't get a word out of you for months, but now you're trying to interview everyone on the team and produce multiple videos with a much smaller team working on Godus?

In the past, we have made Q&A videos with Peter and Jack and we've made videos where we've introduced members of the team. This is something I'd like to continue doing, but is this something you'd like us to continue doing? I'm also thinking of creating another short set of videos were we interview different team members each week/month, but you the community can ask the questions. Would this be something that would interest you? is that the best you can come up with for 'new ideas'  at this stage i think nobody cares about a video anymore, your customers care about getting the product the paid for or their money back. |
