I wonder how much of this stuff falls under the NDA because EAGCs have been playing the retail for quite a while before now and it seems whenever someone asked about "schemes", none of them would say much. Also, there was an E3 video a few months back that had a walkthrough of the CCM menus and one of the screens showed some footage of schemes. However, i went back earlier this week and could no longer find it, seemed like it had been replaced with a different video.
Could have been these scheme issues have been known about it within that timeline and it just wasn't being discussed. Not accusing the EAGCs of any hijinks, just saying I wonder how much the NDA makes them keep under wraps.
