Thanks for all the posts Anton. Good to hear from you about this, I know you've got to maintain a relationship with the publishers and you dont want to be seen playing the blame game so I understand why you havent said this a week ago.
I've seen this type of situation before on the more "cult" games where the creators make a load of really cool DLC and updates then pass it to the publishers and....nothing.
If this was on PC it'd be out the door in no time as it costs next to nothing to implement but its not its a console title and they're done a little different.
Updates/patches and DLC for console games cost money, not just to make (which Gaigin have just sucked up off their own bat) but also to release onto the consoles (both, plural not just "M$". Oh how I hate that BTW), and thats paid for by the publisher.
I'd love more content and I know you guys would too but can you imagine the conversation with the bean counters trying to get this stuff released once the games out? 505/1C are compaies after all and not big ones at that so they need to make money to survive. Harsh but true.
My point is (I have one?) that its a small community here and, realistically speaking, few people will benefit from this and the publishers will take that into account when they decide if they want to write a big cheque to Sony & Microsoft to get the ball rolling on this. We may never see it.
Thanks for putting the effort in either way Anton, its much appreciated from us BoP players.
