A Sea Change is not necessarily a bad thing. It can indeed herald a new, even better way forward. A monthly post offering a broad outline could indeed be part of that way forward....I think they should go to a monthly post that gives us a broad outline, if anything.
Mitch has even mentioned that he’ll be talking about BATTLETECH at next week’s GAMESCON.
So while a Sea Change is not necessarily a bad thing, It should be noted and discussed as it occurs.
How else would HBS know what it’s fans and customers value about its brand?
How many customers come to it when it releases a game, buy the game, play the game, and then go away until the next game?
Then again, how many fans are willing and eager to maintain a more robust presence, contributing to a BATTLETECH Community, regularly sharing, enjoying and discussing All-Things-BATTLETECH-&-HBS?
Threads discussing HBS Customer Interaction very much help HBS determine what its fans and customers value and in my opinion, help it best find a way forward. :bow:
Did I value what HBS achieved during its first 2 and half years beginning with the BATTLETECH KickStarter?
HELLS, YES!
Will I value the BATTLETECH Dev Diaries and HBS Live-streaming that Mitch mentioned above, might be the “Tent Poles” of HBS Customer Interaction moving forward?
HELLS, YES!
We are just in that in-between time. Where the old is done and the new, not yet begun.
Maybe some of this will begin when Mitch speaks of BATTLETECH next week. : )
