Fix the game for the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who paid $60 for a defective product. Thank you.
Agreed. What a terrible PR blunder.
I mean, they should have announced that it was pushed back a week due to the fact that a lot of it’s player base still can’t play the game.
“We know the game is like… still under development… and that millions are waiting for a fix, but like, we gotta make sure the whole world can see how much fun this multiplayer is so that they go buy a new console for this game” -probably the gist of what project lead and head of publishing said
Do you realize that the software engineers are a completely different group of people from the publicists and tournament staff? Even if Microsoft canceled the championship, that wouldn’t magically free up resources to fix the game with. Publicists and tournament staff can’t fix bugs.
The 343 devs are working as hard as they can. This championship is a parallel effort that does not affect how soon MCC will be fixed up.

I realize that. But it’s still bad PR. They should have postponed it and acknowledged that lots of people are still having problems. The thing is, even though you and I understand that the engineers and publicists are separate, a lot of people don’t get that. And that’s why it’s bad PR. And the last thing 343 needs is bad PR.
