Church - I'd love to think I have that kind of influence but sadly not. I think the chaps upstairs are smart enough to know a good thing when they see it, though....
Hogie - I think I've said this before, haven't I? *bangs head against wall*. But as I don't seem to be getting it through, I'll try one more time - categorically - we will not be forcing SI to add anything "commercial" to the game, now, or at any point. Any decisions like that would be made with the agreement of both parties, or they wouldn't happen. I'm not sure how much clearer it could be!
seamus - moi? Seriously - I'm baffled by some of the reaction. Why would we want to buy something and then immediately break it? SI is one of SEGA's marquee developers, making a marquee product - I can't understand why people assume that after two years of it performing very well, we'd immediately buy SI and chuck in a few Sonic graphics and maybe a Super Monkey Ball on the pitch - obviously, that'd really help us out, wouldn't it...
So - business as usual seems to be the in phrase, but it's accurate - we want the PSP and X360 launches to be succesful next week and we are already working hard on "future SI releases".
To borrow Marc V's well-worn phrase - I hope this helps... honestly, if I had anything else more exciting to say, I'd have told you all by now...
Of course, if anyone has any more questions - you know exactly where to find me...!
Cheers
