In Response To: Re: the death of a german community - the how and (MacD) : I think the crux of the matter is this: we used to get those cool weekly : updates, which kept everyone's apetite whetted. Now we're on an : information drought, with the only thing we know being "it'll come : out...at one point". : Somehow the PR machine which has been used to such awesome effect in the past : has dried up, and that's a bit...disapointing? no, disheartening for us : PC/mac people. : A simple post every couple of weeks/months would do nicely, even if it just : had one line saying "art has been ported" or "we figured : out how to make the AI run at the same speed on a PIII 550 and an AMD XP : 1800". : We feel a bit left out, because your PR has done a (too) good job in the : past, and now is non-existent. Does anybody remember the TOTAL information blackout that started in mid-June 2000 (about the time of the buyout), and lasted until the first weekly update, in October, 2000? No screenshots, no movies, no word from Bungie - there was nothing. That's the PR machine you're saying was too good? They're pretty consistent - they understand that fans want info. If they had info they felt comfortable passing out, they'd pass it out. In the meantime, waiting is what needs to happen. There were plenty of people who weren't willing to wait during the LAST news blackout... and the damn game STILL sold a million copies in 5 months. :)
