Too many interviews, not enough... LH?
gimme the game already

Edit: I can't help but feel that the undead will be the new "pet race" from the developers, being more interesting than the others

How come Tom Chick is playing the beta and we're not? Srsly. 

Having paid for the original Elemental's Collector's Edition (I placed a great deal of faith in you guys), I was kinda hoping that we'd get early access if other people are, too. 

I would assume he was getting an early look at the game.  

But but... We wants too
(Think it as a positive thing that at least some of  your fans are impatient about seeing the new changes )

Understandable for peeps (particular those who are loyal fans who've stuck around since early WOM) to want/expect to get their hands on any beta as early as possible.  

But realistically it's also understandable that Stardock let select media types get their mitts on early version of releases (such as in this situation).  Media = advertising = revenue = more investment into the game = good.

Presumably beta not ready for hardcore fans who will give it a good thrashing and report everyone single pixel that is out of place (but ok for a quick review in the media).  That's fair enough.

Exactly. Previews are usually accompanied by atrocious NDA's such as not being allowed to comment on any bug in public (some games even go as far as to demand nothing bad is said at all). 

This is like them showing him a tech demo. That's very different from putting something playable in the hands of actual consumers, consumers that talk about good and bad regardless of it being an alpha/beta.

In other words, they want to build some hype but they know their product isn't ready to do that on its own currently.

But the pixel said bad words to me

Well where is OUR early look at the game? We PAID GOOD MONEY for Elemental War of Magic and it was a flop and a half. Don't WE deserve to get an EARLY look at the game? I mean seriously who is Tom Chick compared to those whot BOUGHT your game??? Huh? Huh? Tell me Huh?

Sense of entitlement much?

All the GD time.

You also received Fallen Enchantress, and just need to be patient for Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes.

I think he was being facetious.

And why can't TOM CHICK be PATIENT along side the rest of us?? huh? huh? Tell me that? Why should HE get first crack at it? How many copies did HE BUY of the origional game? You guys need to get your PRIORITIES straight. WE THE PAYING PUBLIC deserve to get this stuff FIRST! not these freeloaders who sit around waiting on free games just because they can write better than I can? pfffft.

Yeah, its not like Tom Chick is a widely read game reviewer who can influence the public into buying games...

Nah..that couldn't be it.

Lucky I have children so I find it easy to ignore willie.  Lots of practice.

Yeah un huh I see the way you're ignoring me. lmao hahaha You and kungdone rush to threads I've posted in to read what I've typed. lol You can't help yourselves to reply to them either. lmao
