We all know OOTP addiction is a very serious health problem.

You honestly paid $30 just to have stadium graphics?

I think the wink at the end says he is just mocking the ones who ask stuff like that in seriousness.

You guys aren't that witty. Your retorts are sad, and corny.

Honestly, how long would it take Markus to post "hey dudes, i am releasing it in a week" Ravinhood preordered. he put money down. He wants to know why he hasn't gotten what he was told he would get.

Markus works hard, no doubt, but he shouldn't run his mouth getting people's expectations piqued because this is what happens. Markus would have been better off saying nothing at all. Stop being a bunch of sad fanboys and defending Maruks blindly!

StyxNCa · 05-19-2009, 11:07 AM

Uh-oh.

Well fanboys or not we do have 10 years of history to fall back on with him and this game. So those of us who have been involved for a while know how things are and we are ok with it.

I respect everyone's right to complain about what their expectations are and witty or not we all have a vision of when and how this game will be released.

More than I ever thought possible...it is even making him want Rangers players autographs.

Theonlystd · 05-19-2009, 12:24 PM

StyxNCa · 05-19-2009, 12:26 PM

It's in the mail.

silvam14 · 05-19-2009, 12:52 PM

I can't see how anyone can take the OP's post seriously.

I'm not defending anyone blindly. The game was promised in Spring 2009. It is still Spring 2009. The game is not late.

Get over yourself.

I know! There is a wink at the end.

So many people on these forums have no sense of humor.

Well call me crazy, but sarcasm isn't exactly the universal language of the intranet. Also, perhaps the crap coming out of these peoples mouths and spilling onto their machines just isn't funny. Zach Galifianakis, now that is funny...

He very well might say "Hey the game will be released in a week" but we have to wait and see.

What confuses me is that you are complaining about Markus running his mouth when everyone else is complaining that he isn't talking enough.

Guess we can please anyone anymore.

Some may find it funny, others may not, but it seems there are many who take everything serious regardless of how obvious a poster made it that he was not being serious, either in this thread or any others. That's what the faces are for. The very first reply in this thread was "This is a joke, right?". It was obvious the guy was poking fun at all the threads that pop up before release asking about a release date. I don't see where it was poking fun at any individual.

It's the same as the post on May 1 saying..It's May 1, where's the game.

Jeez, try to have a bit of fun on here.

Now, having said all that watch the OP come on and tell us he was dead serious.

Perhaps one small recompense for those who wished OOTPX was already released is that the euro has become stronger over the past month (and also over the past few months)...meaning that the number of euros Markus will get from US customers (the bulk of his buyers I guess) will be less than it was a just a few weeks ago.

For better or worse, Markus is speculating in the dollar and, well, has lost in the last month as the dollar has weakened as he's tried to finish up the game. Such are the facts of life when you live in one part of the world and sell your product in another part of the world (which uses a different currency).
