Re: What is the standard for "something to report?
Posted By: Matt <matt@bungie.com>Date: 2/9/02 6:51 p.m.

In Response To: What is the standard for "something to report?" (Gromit)

: I realize there was a commitment to providing a weekly update during X-Box
: Halo's development, and there will, understandably, be less interesting
: stuff happening during the port, but the X-Box version of Halo generated
: more than its share of updates like:

: [snippets of lame Updates snipped to save space]

It should be pointed out that almost all of those updates were written when the Halo Update had become something of a weekly institution and I felt obligated to say something. I suspect the same will be true of the PC/Mac versions: as soon as we start talking about them, we'll be disinclined to stop.

: Is there perhaps a desire,
: conscious or unconscious, not to give too much publicity to the desktop
: version while the X-Box version is still high in its interest curve?

Are you kidding? Certainly not on my part. The day I can start telling people "Yes, it's officially announced now. Click this link to check out the news story on Truth & Reconciliation for all the details" is going to be a very happy day.

I think our real desire is not to start up the publicity engine before we're really ready. Whenever we say too much too soon, it comes back to bite us in the ass, often in the form of angry customers.
