    i don't think its my idea only but i am wondering, why the "silent" launch of the retail version?

    besides a video on youtube 5 days before the release, nothing else happened.o_O

    am i missing something here? what happened to the update videos? no developing team update?
    no hype? isn't this going to be bad for sales?:confused:

    is there any channel that i do not know about that i missed all the "excitement"?:oops:

    I got raised in a family where we may not talk during our meals as well, there is nothing wrong with it.

    Oh you mean LAUNCH, besides being on PAX they did a massive livestream and played the **** out of their latest version, you missed it i think.

    Small marketing budget, overworked staff.

    The stream never made it to thier Youtube Channel and I don't think the Twitch VODs ever became available?

    It is a little odd, right after "Release" is where you get your biggest traffic and it's basically when people are going to be monitoring the game and it's various elements but aside from the occasional non-release related post there hasn't been much out of Uber at all. Here's hoping there is more to come.

    Uber has changed Twitch channels quite a bit. One feature that is not toggled on by default is the broadcast archive feature. The current Uber Twitch channel does NOT have this enabled. Sadly.

    Define 'massive'. I watched it, I don't believe it was longer than 3 hours. The Gamma launch stream was 10 hours, so I wouldn't call this one massive, unless I somehow missed another 10+hour stream at some point.

    I hope that they are aware of it not being watchable for those who missed it.

    I think he meant by the fact of how many people attended, which I've heard wad quite a few- could be wrong.

    It peaked at something like 5000-5500.
