[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 726090, member: 527"] The rumor in the industry is that the disk went Gold at the beginning of the month and that it should be in stores in late Feb. (I thought the date was the 28th, but I could be confused there). The other rumor is that the dev team is being cut loose ASAP; apparently there are plenty of MOO3 resumes floating around down in LA. Strategy Guides are contracted to one of a small group of publishers who often sub-contract a writer. The primary motivation for the publisher is to have the guide in the stores on the release date, due to their internal marketing data which shows that most guide purchases happen within a certain window of the release. Anyway, guides have a lot of degrees of separation between the dev team and the guy who ends up writing - its not like the strategy guide appearing in stores means anything other than the book company was told that MOO3 was going to make Christmas. But then, weren't we all? ;-) [/QUOTE]
