Sometimes I think they are truly invested in the product other times I think they couldn't give a kobold's bum.
So are the dev team going to be chatting up models at E3 over the next three years: "Hey I saved a truly great game through heroic efforts, baby" /puffsoncigar
or crying into freebie refreshments at the promo stands and mumbling to the barman, "I used to work on the greatest MMO in history but then we took an elder scroll to the IP"
time will tell..... I still can't decide if they are "fingers crossed that this will be received as a good expansion" or laughing up their sleeve "these fools will buy anything.."
