microprose doesn't give a toss

why is it quite a lot of other software providers have been reasonably forthcoming with info on their games, whereas microprose has been totally silent as far as i've seen recently might they just not care about the paying customer, oh to have such arrogance -- billy w

We all know about the game from previews. The only thing we don't know is the release date. Max

GP2 is not a product of MicroProse. It's a product of Geoff Crammond. So far Mr. Crammond has produced nothing but OUTSTANDING pieces of software (Revs, Sentinel, Stunt Car Racer, F1GP). -TPP

Dear Billy. You also may notice that companies that do let out information like release dates etc and then somehow, something goes wrong and they are constantly carped on by the 'paying customer'. Not only that, it must be bothersome to get constant email from people telling them they KNOW what they need to do to make their next release the best. Especially if they have finished programming already! I prefer to have info right out front as well, but if it ain't avialable, dont resort to rumor! Because some snotty nosed kid with a t shirt of DOOM told someone who told his girlfriend who told her *** lover that F1GP2 should be out on such and such a day, does not mean it will. Officially, the date is after the 15th of March. I can wait. It gives me time to save up too. In other words, lay off them. If you want to get up someone's nose, try Origin and EA. Their release dates are always wrong. But then again, I suppose their consistent.
