The Lucasarts producer who headed KOTOR and promised the now infamous simultaneous release before then changing his mind and never giving an explanation why the change in plan.

Ah, thanks. I'm not much of a fan, so these facts escape me.

I still haven't bought the game.

 

I was excited about it around Christmas.

 

Then I wasn't excited about it on release.

 

Then I spent all my money in Mexico.

 

Now I've got a freelancing job fixing teh computars that pays $35 an hour.

 

I'm still not getting it until the Restoration mod is complete.

 

I might end up actually pulling off the Boycott I proposed back when the date is changed out of sheer apathy.

His article was actually a very good read and I agree with a lot of what he says.

A lot of people did. I remember this series of articles creating quite an uproar.

Let's start our petition to bring back the Cynic and down with Gallo!  Who's with me?

Not me.

 

Apparently Mr. Cynic doesn't want to go back, because he's busy. Do you want to force him?

 

Are we sure that Mr. Gallo is the one to blame for LucasArts' (alleged) poor treatment of Kotor 2 and Obsidian. Was he maybe just the messenger?

I was kidding. :-"

Well, obviously it wasn't his decision and his alone. I'm sure a lot of other Lucasarts staff share culpability, however he was the lead producer. So either he's to blame, or he's just a puppet and his "lead producer" title is nothing but a fake title given to him by someone with actual importance.

This is what happened:

 

Republic Commando was pushed back, so Lucasarts needed to support it's holiday line up.

 

So the Xbox version of K2 got fast tracked, at the cost of the PC version and general quality, to get it out the door asap.

Really? That's a shame. :(

So many comments would be appropriate here, I just can't choose between them :- .

ummmm that went straight over my head eru... are these reasons you didn't actually get the game or just sombodys reasons that you've collected in one place.
