Re: I didn't bother reading the Weekly Update

In Response To: Re: I didn't bother reading the Weekly Update (Shishka)

Frankie mentioned in the thread I linked to above that the longer Bungie delayed the announcement of the game, the more they could focus on development, instead of rumor control and hype.

I truly think that's the best thing I've heard yet. All the rest of this (forgive me) sometimes sounds a bit laughable. It's sounds like we're talking about the development of a top secret government jet made from scraps recovered at Roswell.

SAY NOTHING!

*chuckle*

Let's get a grip.

I guess I just don't see what harm there would be in making an announcement: "Yes, we ARE indeed working on Halo 3."

1. Most of the dedicated fans would cheer (as much as anyone can cheer while yawning). Still, at least we'd know.
2. Other 'on the fringe' gamers would probably react with a resounding..."Cool."
3. The media engine surrounding the game industry would clamor for exclusive interviews to boost site traffic and magazine sales, but we all know Bungie is good for information control, so other than an annoyance factor, that shouldn't be a big deal.

Ok, so maybe I'm missing something (or many somethings) but I just don't see how that announcement could hurt anything.

That all being said, my daily allotment of care has been completely spent.

*Walks off the stage*
