Seems like the JGE natives are not happy with the official post.

They want information relating to content in the game, not "we will be releasing content soon".

I can't really blame them, they have waited long enough.
Hope the game lives up to the expectation that has been put on it.

Exciting!!

Yes, the media blackout and delays aren't great. But honestly I'd rather a game held back and did a remodel that they've done if it needed it. That's way better than paying for a crap game at launch and the hope and a prayer that "they'll fix it later" any day.

The "Fix It Later" model is certainly difficult to recover from.

Have seen a few developer/publisher combo's who are pushing games back lately. Maybe they finally figured that out.

I'm keen to see it again, it's one of my "too look for" games upong all the E3 info, but they really needed to better state their motives for going going black at the time. They just shut down and said nothing about why for close to six months. That's why people were angry.

Imagine if Valve set a release date for Episode 3, had been demoing it at conventions, releasing videos and so forth then just said absolutely nothing when it didn't ship, and six months later still hadn't said anything as to why. The nerdrage would be mightier than the Hulk.

Meh, nerdrage, they've got your money anyway

[Reoh]

they probably were gagged by their publisher from saying anything. Because negative press is still bad press! Hopefully they'll come through the cauldron with a pipper. I was hoping for something at E3, haven't seen anything yet though.
