A Question for Taldren
« on: February 17, 2003, 01:37:46 pm »
I'm not making an issuse, nor am I getting at Taldren at all, their games are great!  But why was the game released when it clearly wasn't finished?

Thats all, please don't get mad, I just wanna know!

My guess .. . .

When you have a publisher (Activision) and a really big boy above the publisher (Paramount).  Often times the creator (Taldren) is told "Hey ya want us to back this and publish it, we have a few conditions"

I doubt Taldern had much control over factors involving marketing.  Paramount surely wanted the game out to help hype the movie.  Also,  I figure Taldren adn Activision thought the movie would help sell the game.

Frankly they were correct.  Although the experiance has likely left Taldren with a desire to place themselves in a more control oriented position.  I ams ure there were many big company vs. little company conflicts.   There always are in these situations.  

Hopefully, a patch will be out soon.
