However...S&SS took a massive hit to their credibility once it became apparent just how badly wrong they had gone with their first offering. It had significant knock-on effects to their later sales. And now, they're nowhere.Likewise, Fast Forward Entertainment generated some significant buzz with their first product, largely due to a lot of big-names being involved. Then they published, a lot of people bought their book... and then never bought anything again because that first book was awful.Yes, launching on Day One was a massive boost to them. But it would have been for naught without one other factor: "Death in Freeport" is a really good product.Releasing on Day One will indeed give you a significant boost in sales, for that one product. It will also intensify any responses to that product, be they good or bad. If you produce a good product, it can set you up for years. Produce a bad product, though, and you might as well shut down right there, because you won't live it down.</blockquote>
