Waiting for Honest Hearts, Part 4 : Fallout: New Vegas

Perhaps the code package from the beth/obsidian devs, intended for the steam release, wasn't delivered within "safe" time and there were some unexpected issues integrating it into steam. I'm fairly sure they wouldn't intend for us to be sad, nobody likes a tearful customer, except for Microsoft who drink the tears of their customers out of massive buckets at their end of financial quarter Woe Parties...

Might be nice if Beth/Breckon/whoever threw us a tangible bone though, even if it's a lie, so long as its vaguely plausible.... "My dog ate my steam integration scripts"... managing customer expectations etc... not that i've ever been awesome at delivery targets or managing customer expectations - BUT I AINT FREAKIN' BETHESDA!

curse beth for releasing awesome games that make one want to hit refresh on a browser repeatedly like a monkey.

These threads are awesome.

That is all.

Sir, YOU are awesome. We are just bored and girlfriend/wife/six dolls are not currently available, so instead we are here waving our big sticks.

Enough said

And I don't get how some people can call the flaming posters on here 'people with a silly entitlement complex' when they are the ones spending the money and making it possible for the products to exist.

Well at the moment, they aren't spending money on it... Thats part of the problem.

idk maybe I'm just old fashioned that way, in that when a person, especially big entity(s) like Bethesda/Steam/Obsidian makes announcements on the release date of one of their products, they actually come out. Imagine if this was a boxed game and you had to drive miles to the nearest game store to purchase it only find out that the game was only going to be released 'soon'. More people would be a lot more p'oed, and probably would be venting their anger not on some lonely forum on the internet.

Well, if the truck hadn't come yet, the store probably wouldnt know when the truck was coming.

Its not as if the game is going to stop working on a certain date or something.

They can write their darned reports when they finish fixing the darned problem. Thats exactly the point i'm making here. Any time writing a report on "Why its broken" or talking to Todd about the problem, or anyone else is time they could be fixing it.

I suppose you dont know how companies work then. Let me give a little example: when a big chief with money places an order he will wanna have a frequent update on the progress, including delays, set backs, sorta stuff. I guess you dont consider yourself consumer/client/"the guy with the money to justify the product"? In case of the "big chief", we, the costumers/consumers, are the one with the money ready to acquire the product. To keep us on a leash, they, Bethsidian/Steam or you yourself, the producer/contracter, keep us informed on a regular base on what is going on, or else there is the threat of losing the costumer's attention. That is all...

Stick around long enough my friend, and you'll realize that 'We'll have more news soon' is pretty much the Meme of the DLC forum. That's about all Beth tells us until the game is released/fixed/whatever.

Hey Sawyer, do you have stairs in your house?

Are you implying they would lie to us? GASP!

BURN THE WITCH! :flamethrower:

Yeah, go back and read my first post, I work for a major Telco in tech support, I know very well how big companies work.

When there's an outage, we get told there's an outage, and it will be fixed "Soon" the next thing we know, its fixed.

When there's an outage, they fix the problem, they don't do the paperwork as its not time critical; the outage on the other hand is costing money. Noone ever lost money because the "Why the service went down today" report was a day late.

the most anoying this isnt the lack of the DLC release but the lack of information, its allways "we will know more soon" that soon being 6 - 15 hours later..

I agree. If they let us know when I'd be less frustrated. I got up early before school to get it so it could install all day. That was annoying. I get home and it's STILL not up? wtf

while people are entitled to get angry / frustrated and whatever its pointless, tho fun to watch people express them self

I can actually think of a few times where stores put games out the day after release, or not until after a certain time that day.

Post limit. Gosh, wish this DLC would appear so I can have a cup of tea and put my feet up.
