March 17, 201510 yr Any information if Paradox / Obsidian did sent out Review Keys to Games Sites and Youtube / Twitch guys? If yes is there an Embargo and when does it lift?
March 17, 201510 yr Part of me wonders what it matters in the slightest. Only because you and I and several tens of thousand others have already paid in full for this product and our money has, I speculate, already been spent. At this point what anyone else thinks of the game should be only our concern when pondering whether or not there will be a sequel. That said, it is only a part of me that wonders. Now, I interest myself on this topic as well.
March 17, 201510 yr Author At this point what anyone else thinks of the game should be only our concern when pondering whether or not there will be a sequel. Yeah your are right. Reviews and sales number have nothing to do with future projects in the Pillars Universe or other games by Obsidian. On other news the sun has nothing to do with light and heat.

March 17, 201510 yr Reviews and sales more importantly means everything for the future of the PoE universe. That's how it works.

Reviews and sales number have nothing to do with future projects in the Pillars Universe or other games by Obsidian. On other news the sun has nothing to do with light and heat. I don't think you read what I wrote correctly. To paraphrase what I wrote: how the game is received only really matters to us in estimations of the long-term longevity of the game. To which, you wrote a post indignantly pointing out that sales matter in estimations of the long-term longevity of the game. With that sentiment, I whole-hearted agree and wonder how you ever managed to come to such an insightful analysis of the material. I mean, it is the only part of my post you quoted, so you have that serendipity in your favour.
March 17, 201510 yr I'm confident it's gonna get awesome reviews The Unofficial Pillars of Eternity Wiki - Community/Fan Maintained!
March 17, 201510 yr Divinity original sin and wasteland 2 were quite a success, this one can be even more successful critically and financially if handled right. Edited March 17, 201510 yr by apolloooo

I mean, it is the only part of my post you quoted, so you have that serendipity in your favour. You are right again. For you I quote the rest. Part of me wonders what it matters in the slightest.

March 17, 201510 yr I might have lead you all astray. There are a bunch of posts over on neogaf from reviewers suggesting they're going out today.
March 17, 201510 yr Yeah they wanted to have a build as close to release as possible to send to reviewers. Hopefully some really good reviews go up right before release day.
March 17, 201510 yr They aren't under pressure from a publisher to have day 1 reviewers up to boost week 1 sales. I expect mostly impressions writes up on the day of release. Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.
March 17, 201510 yr I sent out a review build to Paradox last night. Reviewers should be getting a chance to play the build starting today.
March 17, 201510 yr Mr. Adler, will the reviewers get patches while playing, like the area loot slider bar and other stuff, to make their experience as close as the release as possible?
March 17, 201510 yr It is possible. There is a fix I would like to get them this morning, but we need to do some testing before I can push it live to them. As for the wider array of fixes we have been making since we locked the reviewer build... maybe or maybe not. We will probably be more focused on locking down the day one patch the rest of this week, but once we do so, we could update their builds with the changes.
March 17, 201510 yr They aren't under pressure from a publisher to have day 1 reviewers up to boost week 1 sales. I expect mostly impressions writes up on the day of release. It's important for media to have reviews as close to the release day as possible, otherwise people will look elsewhere for information.
March 17, 201510 yr thanks for the answer! And really exciting in all cases. Would be cool for the reviewers to get as much of your hard work included as possible. Best wishes for some great reviews.

Regardless of semantics, reviews are exposure.
