Re: Why are you not Responding to questions about the Beta Copy

Wow. Talk about a ramma=lamma-ham-dam. Well since everything is cool , and VC/SEGA still respects OS, when can we get back to some good old impartial impressions?

Re: Why are you not Responding to questions about the Beta Copy

We did not choose to ignore "ESPN MLB".
We put ourselves in Sega's shoes, and made a respectful decision based on that perspective.

If I were Sega/VC, and I truly believed a website was seeking to spread disinformation with the intent of tainting my potential market - I wouldn't want that site to cover it, either.

So, out of respect to Sega/VC and the folks there that we've had a great relationship for years, we thought we owed them the benefit of the doubt, and waited for them to confirm that FatPitcher's comments did not represent Sega/VC's organizational opinion about OS.

If this hadn't been an Sega (contracted) employee, this wouldn't have been an issue. However, as it stood, we felt we had an obligation to follow through with them and make sure that we were clear on their opinion of us, and any perceived bias before we continued our coverage.

Obviously, it's been made clear that FatPitcher's comments were wholly his own, and not sanctioned or approved by Sega/VC. As a matter of fact, they've made it clear that they were embarrassed by what happened, and issued an apology.

We couldn't ask for more, and now that it's clear that Sega/VC and OS enjoy the same great relationship that we've always had - we're all free to get back to business as usual.

We're expecting a new beta any day now, but we'll get the get the impressions thread back up and running immediately.

Once again, thanks for your patience and understanding in this matter.

And with that (and the unlocking of the Impressions Thread) ... we're locked here.

Drama over, let's get back to the games.
