marketing BS...

[revi]

Of course I will spend whatever is neccassary to update my computer to run SOW when it comes out. The price of the actual game will be nothing compared to this. I will also be buying the other games due out that are creating interest such as Knights of the Sky. As their price will also be comparitively neglible to the hardware update. Neither Ubisoft or any other Game publisher need a special marketing strategy ( ie: timed release date ) to get a sale out of me.

Yet another thread with the same topic....

If you knew the release-date, what would it change? Would it make your days brighter? Your bank-account bigger, your life longer or does it really change anything at all? You can't play it after that announcement either and you'd have to wait, too, and you could even be more disappointed when the date is not met, so what does it make a difference?

I have never complained about this issue, but knowing the date (which i'm NOT asking) will help me to decide to buy a new machine now (mine is just OK now but with the new slovakia beta i had some slow downs) or wait to see what the bob is asking for. I do not want to spend an enormous amount of money neiher realise after saving some on the new machine it does not allow me to set BOB at its best. I will only change my computer because of this game. Oleg should ask the computer shop for a percentage LOL

You say you don't want to spend too much money and I perfectly understand that, Ala13_Kokakolo.

The part I don't get about this: If your resources are limited or you just don't want to spend too much money on new hardware, why you are going to buy yourself hardware BEFORE you even know how BoB runs on your computer?



Even if the minimum requirements and optimum requirements are released, which would need a pretty advanced beta to know, how can you be sure you upgraded the right parts without having the chance to compare the importance of different components for the game?

i don't think they ever made a publication date part of there marketing stratergy, I think they told us different dates because of pressure from players.

Exactly


And after all they're just human. If they want something to be done or finished at a specific time doesn't necessarily mean it WILL be done when planned.
