In Response To: Re: You have it wrong, methinks... (MacD)
: (this also in response to Louis Wu's post) Thing is, that that info blackout
: made a lot of PR sense...you make a statement at the beginning of
: devellopment to get the ball rolling, to atract investors, and to get some
: hype (in the good sense of the word) out. However, you can't keep the
: interest at a high level throughout the years-long development cycle (if
: you do, interest will just peter of slowly until it dies). Thus you go
: incommunicado for a while, only to resurface a couple of months before you
: think you're ready to go gold to rekindle the interest (which is still
: latently hiding in the back of peoples minds) and to push it to a peak by
: the time it goes gold.
that's all true, and I know it, but "resurface a couple of months before you
: think you're ready to go gold to rekindle the interest ". That's it - couple of months - sooner they will begin, sooner it will be released :)
