LAST MESSAGE FOR NOW. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Rivard [mailto:wooferess@xxxxxxx] Sent: March 5, 2003 1:46 PM To: blindgamers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: audyssey: games being released James did release his games first. I personally like the competition between game developers. That's part of the fun. I'll bet that James will shed some insight into what must be overcome before a game is put onto the market. Let's wait and see his, along with responses from other developers. This should be interesting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "elaine duke" <elaine.duke@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "blindgamers" <blindgamers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:05 AM Subject: audyssey: games being released > Hi folks > > This comment is really directed at James North, but it does include all > other programmers. > > It is not meant as a personal attack, I'm just making some observations and > asking a few questions. > > James? why do you release your games at the same time as someone else does? > > I mean, when Phil released packman talks, you suddenly decided to release > change > reaction the day before. and now, isn't it just a bit strange that for > months you've been > saying that your going to release dynoman, you set release dates then put > them > back. you've done this not once but quite often. > > now hunter has been released what a surprise you released dynoman the day > before! > > we all new when hunter was being released but we had no idea over dynaman > because you kept changing your mind. > > If I didn't know any better I'd swear you are doing this on purpose, maybe > to get attention? yes James! your games are good but they are no more > important than any one else's games! so why over shadow them? > > . don't know about any one else here, but I'm sure getting sick of the > competition between all programmers.
