You automatically assume this kind of thing can't be anything more than a crackpot conspiracy even though Activision is notorious for pulling this kind of thing, such as disc-locked content, and other companies have fallen to similar publisher-related issues, IE LucasArts. What exactly is your basis that this story is invalid then? The point isn't that the AMA is true or not, one of the first things I said was that at this point it doesn't matter, it's that there is overwhelming evidence that this game [i]was[/i] cut to pieces. Your entire post was dedicated to 2 things, yet again: 1st: That everyone going on about "nutty conspiracy theories are lowering the IQ of the country" (ad hominems aside you have yet to actually address why you feel as though it's all invalid) while assuming I think the game is terrible. I don't. I like the game, a quick look at my profile will tell you how much time I spend playing it, and I never said the game is terrible. I take umbrage with the game in that we were [i]promised[/i] something that we didn't get. Going to Saturn and learning about Crow were my two biggest reasons I wanted the game; I'm a story buff, but I got neither. I got an okay game that does nothing special. 2nd: You spend the rest of your post talking about the article, trying to demonstrate that the article was simply "hopes and dreams" which I knew already. I only used the article for one thing and one thing only: to explain how Saturn was going to be implemented in the game in response to your statement that it's just a gas giant, and to show all of the content that, and I quote, we could "look forward to visiting.". That's it, obviously I knew that the article was about hopes rather than facts, it's in the very title. But it's obvious looking at it how badly the vision changed from what it was over a year ago, lending credence to the AMA's position that the game was gutted. Yet you ignored the fact that my post was almost entirely dedicated to facts presented in other mediums, screenshots and scenes from the game that don't exist, game mechanics and other promises in just one vidoc that are void, and so on. Your entire argumentative platform is anchored around the idea that everyone who believes the AMA is stupid, and ignoring the fallacious personal attack inherent in such a statement, you further ignore the very real impact it had on the community. This is [i]not[/i] about whether the AMA guy was genuinely an employee at this point, it's all about the fact that his position is entirely sensible and valid; whether true or not, everything he says makes sense and explains what happened to the game as we see it compared to what we were shown. And hell, he even admits that there is understandable doubt cast over his legitimacy, that there are still things to be proud of, and actually warns [i]against[/i] boycotting it and the DLC because he knows that will kill the game, when he wants to see it succeed. On the other hand, he advocates [i]for[/i] the very position you take, that we as a community should provide the feedback needed to fix the game, and seems to abhor whining and non-civility. His behavior is completely inconsistent with a trouble maker and entirely consistent with an actual frustrated developer who just wants to see the vision come to life as it deserves. So how is that position invalid?
