Nestle wrote..lol.. not this shit again... I don't see why they can't use the beta as marketing strategy (in a case they were)? what's wrong with that?? I'm sure lots of people bought CZ just for the beta. I hope you're not forgetting their main income is through making GAMES and selling em... You sound like all the other game developers haven't done this...
Wait,maybe with the delay do you think they're trying to get more CZ owners?Is it another marketing strat*hoping i'm using that in the right context*because there arent that many CZ owners(ok, maybe not as much as they wanted).With this plan in hand, do you think Valve is getting greedy for more money?

I dont know about you Doom 3 haters, but I have it and love it, its fun and scares the shit outta me.
Like some people said, its only beta right now, and they dont have to even do it. So nobody should even be complaining.

Makes sense?Thats how you make the bucks, not realy effective....because the company looses that bond between the community and the company itself.But if they had a reasnoble explanation,for delaying the game the community wouldn't realy mind. They'ed actually feel better, that the company is communicating with them on a daily/weekly basis. Right now, Valve is not using this strat (I'm guessing this is right) well. They're realy loosing out, but they dont care...to them money is more important than the consumers. Would you guys feel better if Valve, communicated with us more,I would!...On the steam forums they seem to only talk on update days.Valve needs a new person in charge of marketing, he/she is making the company look bad.
What r u talking about?
Renegade[CSR] wrote..He didn't criticized the weekly updates but the fact that a few times the updates actually created a bug (how can they upload that without testing it is beyond me) and so people had to wait for a patch of the patch. And when they didn't created a bug it was about a crappy skull icon for headshot.
and I don't see how releasing multiple patches is a negative thing.

THen we just have to wait and see how much HL2's gameplay is going to beat the shit out of DOom3. I have D3 and it is a great game, better then most shit out there but HL2 is going to own it.
I'm afraid, from playing Doom3, ID software would be doing the praying.

They should change their name to DELAYed
BTW, my 9800xt can run doom 3 on ultra settings @ 1024x768 just fine too. type benchmark in the console (ctl+alt+~) and you can get your fps. I got 60 fps with AA @ 16x. Didnt notice any mouse lag even in huge rooms. God that game is scary.......and beautiful. It almost made me shit my panties.
