Also causes us to wait for game info after about Dec, since they want to save all the info for a big E3 presence.

I'll be waiting for game info during E3 like everyone else, but I really don't like those shows. They screw up gaming for us more than promoting it. I hate all the game releases that come out in the Fall, when I need to tie my money up in holidays and such rather than spending selfishly on myself.

If there were no big game conventions, somehow I think we'd be playing IL2 already and possibly seeing fewer homogenized, cookie cutter games like we do now.

Yup, I couldn't agree more.

Saving it for E3 is a stupid decision. The game will get buried amongst the hype of games that better appeal to the a.d.d teenage generation.

The last few months have been very quiet re: game releases. This would have been the perfect time to get BoP out.

As for holding back the release of a promotional website.... that goes beyond stupidity.

I think 505 must have had some kind of clause in a contract that forced Gaijin to use them as publisher.
