It can have a bearing on who dictated the release date (eg. Epilepsy filter controversy). No-one is telling you personally, so ignore the posts if you are not interested, others are.

Why should anyone care who dictated the release date? That ship sailed a long time ago.

That doesn't mean its irrelevant. As I said, if you aren't interested- ignore it. Some people are interested in the publishing and financing of who made the game they play. If you aren't thats fine.

I know they are. I'm trying to find out why. It seems pointless. If there is a point (other than the usual internet pissing contest), I'd like to know what it is.

People like to have someone blame, its much more satisfying than reflecting on our own screw ups. UBISOFT was the big bad villain for a long time, but there have been doubts cast on their vileness so we are researching other prospects.

Perhaps it's none of your business if others wish to know? And if you're not interested, as professed, why should it concern you? As for pissing-contests, you're one of the shoe-ins for the patron-saint short-list.

Enough of the dubious one-liners and terse bluntness. Who do you think you are? King of the high horse?

When I see your posts all I see is an ego looking for an argument, a bunch of glib, stand-offish wiser-than-thou assertions, and an inordinate amount of low-level nastiness.

Have some back, sunbeam

Chivas, I see nothing has changed. Your knowledge of the human condition, and step-by-step iterating of what is going on (all presumed) inside the dev house is boundless

All spoken with a matter-of-fact certainty.

Unrealer and unrealer....

I'm asking anyways.

You always do. And if there's no question to be asked, or answer to be had, you ask anyway. As tersely and rudely as possible. No-nonsense-man-in-the-corner alert...

Let's see how you fare when you're picked up on it. With someone in your own language.
