Mind Storm Labs, in my opinion, is silently imploding. Van's 30 days have come and gone, and now forum people are wondering if "Divinus" means anything anymore. They still don't have a tangible product, but are taking pre-orders.
Forum posts state that they have gotten more sales than they expected from the pre-order, but the way their marketing's going those expectations shouldn't be too high. I have not seen or heard of AO being marketed *anywhere* else. Some can argue that it's not being marketed because it's not available yet... if that's the case, what was the point of doing the ARG for an entire month with the sole purpose of driving traffic?
They still don't have the website tools. And, after all that traffic they generated during the month of July, their forum has trickled down to only a couple of new posts a day. In other words, dead.
And they tried to restart the ARG... and were promptly ignored. There are two people that I know of (and I'm not one of them) that have even bothered to look at the email and determine meaning. Too little too late I guess.
Some say that everything that went wrong is not MSL's fault. I beg to differ... *everything* that happens is *their* fault; they are the decision makers, and they are the ones that are supposed to be in control. It's their product, and the success or failure of their marketing and network support is what's going to make them rich or bust them.
As far as Cloverfield... oooo, we got a roar now. People are still looking for a game that, in my opinion, simply isn't there.
Just sit back, get to know the "Slusho Seven", and keep praying for their violent, painfully bloody demise at the hands of the Voltron Whalezilla.
