hey anyone over at ionside whats an eta of when  argentum will be released?<br>peace

[Jaybot]

Right after Hyperspaz Delivery Bitch comes out, otherwise Argentum will eclipse HDBs sales, and Romero cant have that.

[abcdefu]

huh?

[Luciano U. Werner]

Jay means: your guess is as good as ours.

[abcdefu]

lol no kidding

[Jaybot]

No, I thought I was pretty clear, apparently as mud.  Lets just say it will be AT LEAST 2 more weeks, based on the pgamer.org news today.  You're smart lads, you can figure it out.

[Dan East]

I know exactly what you're talking about. <br><br>Dan East

[Matt Keys]

As do I.

Hehe, actually, I've not spoken to carpe for a little while cause he has exams at the moment.<br><br>Legal stuff is holding it up, well, that and the wedding.<br><br>- John.<br><br>

yeah, legal bullshit like "We have to release HDB before AG, otherwise Hyperspazz Delivery Bitch will be nothing more than a blip in sales." What a fucking load of crap.<br><br>It doesn't take this long to get legalities in the US figured out. Fuck, Even with the mounds of parperwork, it would take less than a week. Believe me, the attorneys would be pushing this shit out the door faster than you can turn around.<br><br>I was at a dinner gathering for a startup once, and Paul Allen made a deal with Imandi for $20 million. The following week Imandi had $20 million and ANOTHER blowout.<br><br>Romero is playing the creators of AG.<br><br>

[John Lomax]

Thats so far off the truth Randall.<br><br>Why do you have to come onto here and be all aggressive? I dont deserve to be thrown insults like that. Sure Argentum isnt out, but hey its no need to get an attitude about it. I want Argentum out as much as anyone, but I dont have a magic wand that will bring it out.<br><br>The legalities with Argentum take much longer than a week to sort out, if only you knew. To simply say it could be passed through an attorneys office in less than a week is so wrong, couldnt be further from the truth.<br><br>HDB has no connection to Argentum at all, As if Romero's game would impact each other is crazy anyway.<br><br>Noone is perfect, and they missed the august deadline by quite a bit. But it hurts me to see people getting so irate that they hurl insults and become abussive because a game is delayed for whatever reason. <br><br>I'm not saying crap, and I never had. The legal stuff is *entirely* the reason behind the delay. Just hope atleast some of you understand and believe that.<br><br>- John.

First off i dont understand how Romero would be related to the release of AG, can someone explain this? Are you implying hes paying off carpe so that 'other game' will hit the shelves first? Second I thought everyone was saying there would be an important AG announcement in a week like a month ago.

[John Lomax]

To set the record straight...carpe was contacted by a number of publishers. Romeros name was thrown around among others, and its stuck, since then people assume romero is behind all things going on, which is simply untrue. In reality its hit a huge legality snag which has promptly halted the release. In all honesty I cant tell you the full picture, I really cant. But thats it.<br><br>Although you wont believe me, so I dont know why I bother. Just thought Id try and get some more info out to you, albeit not entirely what you want.<br><br>- John.
