I'm excited, but a little worried at the same time. I guess I'll have to wait and see what comes out from this.

GameSpot Interview

Homelan Interview

Hopefully these throw more light on how this transpired.

WeeGee, there is nothing to be worried about. Just trust me.

Interesting articles. It will be interesting to see how the changes affect the game. Not to happy about losing manual shift from FOTL to VOTL though... I get over it in time.

[/indent]You won't notice that you miss it because it is very transparent.

BTW Derek, you can call the game "Derek Smart Taking a S**T" after seeing those pics I'd buy it.

[/indent]I have been advised that it was Dreamcatcher media folks who edited the interview before it went out to GameSpot.

In fact, the only reason the Homelan interview wasn't censored, was because it went directly through me because Homelan sent the questions directly and did not go through Dreamcatcher. So, I had to talk John at Homelan into not running his interview until after the GameSpot one ran because of the promise (that they would get first dibs to anything I had to say) that Dreamcatcher media had made to GameSpot . Without telling me about it of course.

Silly publishers

It was like he wanted to keep the "Edsel" badge and that's just not good brand marketing.

[/indent]I always wanted an Edsel. I was surprised to discover I already had three of 'em.

Btw, newspaper editors make changes all the time. Reporters are often amazed at "what they wrote" after reading their own articles in the morning paper.

[/indent]Don't compare editorial content to a personal interview. I don't work for Dreamcatcher and I own all rights to not only my IP but also to what I write in interviews.
