Ha. Perhaps you can see where i'm coming from.

I have an XBox 360. And eagerly awaited BoP. I heard all the promises Anton had to offer. And got nothing.

He, and they, deserve nothing in my mind.

Yeah I see where your coming from. Appreciate that xBox situation is worse than the patched PS3 ( which is by no way perfect) but I don't think Anton and team were to blame. They did produce the patch for both consoles but I believe the reason you didn't get this was more down to the publisher, not the developers. Anton was, up until gagging, very approachable and willing to engage with us players. In fact I've never heard of any devs engaging with the gaming community in such a way. Having had support from the publishers removed the only way they could have developed this great game further would have been to finance it themselves. Pity really, as the longevity and dedication of those who play this game demonstrates the potential it had.

You are so right. Anton provided access and information like I had never seen.
That is why I thought he would fight for ME. And when his publisher said it was not cost effective to make a patch for 360,(and further updates for all) he, and they clearly folded.

Some want to blame 505 for my situation. I truely believe it was 1C. We all know that the publisher puts the money behind the title. Not the developer.

1C publishing had very little to do with BoP. Anton and the developers at Giajin would have given you everything you asked for had 505 not been so tight with the cash. Giajin didnt "fold" they simply had no control over the situation.

By the way Riceball, you're starting to sound a bit like Dennis, saying Anton should have fought for you personaly. lol

[Riceball]

Yeah, thanks Anton. For what you did for some of us.

I will take offence to that comment sir! I remember him from when I was here on a daily basis in anticipation of BoP. And by "me", I really mean "us".

Maybe the problem was having three hands in the pot. 1C, 505, and Gaijin. And maybe i'm too business minded. And how do you not see that everyone in the equation is at fault? Maybe some more than others.

Thanks for the condolences Trk.
