i hate myself for loving you month year released

know as a fact that you can release next month because the product is ready to go today, announce the date, open the 'pre-order', and release as communicated).Ī really good way to do things would be to say 'we could release today, and ED agrees, so we'll announce a release date three months from now. The alternatives are 1) setting a date and sticking to it or 2) keeping your mouth shut until you actually can see a release date that you can execute (i.e. It sets an expectation that is then not met. Saying that the release is 'imminent' or 'very soon' when it is months away is effectively the same as missing a date.

Having said that, that is exactly what is driving this backlash. You're right, there is always a big backlash when these developers miss dates. waiting a month or two isn't a big deal to me, I will spent the time learning more about the Mirage F1

I prefer to believe that Razbam encountered more development difficulties than it expected and thus the delays on providing an actual release date, but really I don't care, I waited until the release seemed more certain, so when ED featured it on May 12th newsletter and said that it was close, I bite the bullet and pre-purchased it and missed dates tells you nothing about the development or its release date. That's not true, everytime ED or its partners have to postpone a date there is a huge basckslash of community criticism. I'm sure they hate seeing all the disgruntled comments on the forums, but I'm not sure they don't feed much of it. I only write this stuff in hopes that maybe Razbam, Heatblur, and particularly ED receive the feedback as constructive and stop saying things like 'release is imminent!' when it is still months away. I'd advocate for pre-orders to only go live with an anticipated early access release date.įor those that disagree with me, I appreciate your opinion. If one of my employees told me those statements, then said we're a few months off, I'd be pissed. As recently as two weeks ago, Eagle Dynamics said on their twitter 'the Strike Eagle is coming in hot and soon you'll be able to fly this.' and 'we are getting close now'. I believe most would find this misleading. I don't believe it to be a good marketing practice, nor particularly helpful, for a company to say something like 'the release is imminent' when it is still six months away. The issue (for me at least) has never been about the date, the development timeline, etc It is about setting expectations. If they have said that it would release in August back then, I wouldn't be so disappointed as I am now, considering the release is in July.Īgree. That would give us an idea on how the development is going and when to expect a release.

I think that Razbam should have been more transparent over the release, giving us a date from the start of the pre-order, at least, even if it would be postponed.
