it's been 11 days since the Big Ant Studios twitter said "Stay tuned for UK news."
on no planet except "planet cricket" is that not inconsistent with now implying that the "strategy" is to not make the UK deal public due among other factors to worrying about it being exported back to Aus, and a statement also 11 days ago that he hoped to have info early last week which appeared to include the UK but which his current evasions suggest could never have been the case.
it's part of a pattern of making bullish, unequivocal statements (2013 release, release before ashes, no chance to miss last year, exact date before end of jan, march release etc.) that he can't back up and then making desperate post-hoc justifications that hint at a bigger picture only he can understand that lets his acolytes nod knowingly at each other feel all smug too because they didn't get frustrated not like the trolls and then he'll pick someone to personally attack all the while making a great play of his personal integrity...
then he will actively troll someone (if they're ignored, they're ignored, why does he need to keep to going on about it) and keep attacking them hoping everyone else will join in and not notice the gaping hole where the thing he said would happen should be.
I would suggest that the reaction was due to the inference you took that it meant there was no deal and it would be months.
i said i didn't think the deal was signed when the announcement of the rest of the world was made, and there was more to it than waiting for approval.
i explicitly said that did not mean that they were not at an advanced stage and the deal may be close, but i also said that "TBA" was not typically used to suggest something is imminent, and if this was imminent the use of "TBA" was antagonistic... as time went on it became more and more apparent that there obviously was more to it than it mere approval.
if you accept what @
Ross is currently implying, i'll admit i was probably wrong about the deal not being signed at that point. but it does mean there was more to it than approval, it does mean the implications he's previously made about UK info being imminent were less than honest, and it makes his personal abuse while making a great play of his integrity ludicrous.
nobody currently planning to the buy game in the UK knows exactly when they will have their game in their hands. no amount of unjustified abuse @
Ross cares to throw at me changes that, and I applaud those members of PC who are not allowing his diversionary tactics to distract them from that point.
