This is unfortunate. I was looking forward to hearing reAnimator actually talk about the game. Reading text on a message board can feel so cold and impersonal. Also, no, I did not like the demo at all, but I REALLY appreciate the constant feedback the developers have given us in spite of all the negative reactions. I really hope they stick around for the next development cycle, as this sort of interaction is hugely important.

Not necessarily true, although they are similar.

Saying not to discuss X area and giving someone what to exactly say aren't one and the same. They just decided ahead of time what can and can't be discussed.

That's public relations 101. They can still give you candid and spontaneous.

Guys enough with the Madden discussions. This has NOTHING to do with Madden.

Wow, that kinda sucks. I was really looking forward to what the developers had to say about their game. Oh well, it sounds like a smart move by EA to prevent any unnecessary things to be said.
Any ways, despite the move, kudos to the developers for their class act of wanting to be on the show in spite of all the criticism their game and reputation faces. I wish them the best for future games.

I've said all along that it isn't the devs, it's the higher ups that hold back NBA Live and Madden NFL's progression. It's a corporate thing. If people will buy our product without us having to do more work or very little work, then that just means more money for us, less overhead, and less hours on the clock for all of their employees.

EA's PR blows! Thanks for ruining the show. I was hoping the developers would come in and answer questions from dissapointed customers, and sports gamers alike. I guess that won't happen now.. Boooooooooo!

All of EA's employees sign an employment contract when they start working for EA. One of the things included is a Non-Disclosure Agreement in which employees are prevented from discussing or publicizing proprietary information. From the many posts that I have read from rEAanimator, he hs not broken that NDA. Now if EA as a company explicitly states that he, as an employee of EA, cannot participate in an event (interview, etc.), then that is pretty clear cut.

While this sucks for us, I'm guessing that EA freaked when they found out about rEAnimator being on the show and feared that rEAnimator might be a bit too open and honest with us. EA is in lockdown mode right now in that EA Vancouver studio. They're trying to figure out what to do and don't want any mis-information getting out there.

Understandable but still crappy for us.
