OS Radio Show Tonight -- CANCELLED!!

[LDUBBS28]

I saw this coming. Next step for EA will be issuing gag orders for all devs.

Bad news. If the show is done anyways, are you going to talk about EA NBA future, suggestion on what needs to get done for Elite 12 so rEAnimator can respond in this topic?

I'll have a decision on whether we spend an hour basically ripping EA or not later on this afternoon.

I understand it from your point of view but really what company would let their people do this?

Huh? What company would let a developer participate in a show to answer questions and defuse negative reaction towards a game? My guess is many. Gamespot, G4, and opertationsports frequently have developers pitch their game and answer questions.

This is bad move by EA and puts Reanimator in an even worse situation. Sorry reanimator, sometimes the company we work for doesn't always represent the same ideals as we ourselves carry. Class act coming on these forums, answering questions. I might not like the game (as currently constituted) but I respect you for your efforts.

Every other company on earth would probably do this to try to restore a horribly broken image. PR stands for Public Relations, not (lack of) public relations

Sorry guys, the show tonight is canceled. We've already done a show largely on Elite this week and I really don't want to do another without the developers on board to answer your questions. You can read the original post for the full details.

FYI.....those interviews on G4, Gametrailers, IGN, etc are SCRIPTED. Game companies know in advance what the questions are going to be and therefore are given a carefully worded statement on how to answer the question.

You should just post all the questions you had line up for him so rEA can answer them.

Workarounds rule.

I hadn't listened to your show before, but this would've been enough for me to finally listen to one. Shame.
