I read this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23754311 and it made me think of how similar can happen in small hobbyist communities like the jag.
Announcing a title too early can be quite a pain for the developer, and lead to too much interest from the fans, leading to too much pressure on the developer which suddenly turns what was a fun thing to do, into some high pressure thing. Especially if you don't want to disappoint anyone. I have spoken to people who have regretted announcing their plans as soon as they have done in the Jag community, I myself have regretted my own announcements, especially as very few have seen the light of day.. (Warballs.. ahem...![:D]()
)
Just thought it an interesting article, especially as it reflects things I have seen in my own little community![:)]()
