It's at times like the guys' PC discussion that the gulf of circumstance between professional game critics and the average consumer becomes super clear. I do appreciate their effort, especially on Jeff's part, to see outside of that bubble, though.
Seems like a decision they made over a year ago when Unity was being savaged by critics, but Syndicate was already in the oven so it's only coming to fruition now. Also Ubi surely has a replacement this holiday season for AC in Watch Dogs 2. I can see those two franchises trading off that slot every year going forward.
Still, hard to complain when a break is what many people have been asking for. I hope when AC returns in holiday 2017, it's some real next-level shit.
Congrats, guys, for getting to the Mun and back. Now while Drew is cleaning up your previous messes, time to start building a sick orbital space station.
I guess I'll have to concur with a lot of the other comments here in saying that I see no petulance with the publisher silence re: Kotaku.
Alex's statement that publishers should speak plain flows from a position that Kotaku is owed that transparency, which they are not. Why would any publisher exchange negative correspondence with a media outlet that is known to slap such e-mails across their front page? In what universe is that a more intelligent response than dead silence? At that point, you are asking PR people to be bad at their jobs.
