Ok so there i am, pondering the latest reason why not to release AOP, then i get to tthinking about demo's. Usually Akella don't make demos but i was thinking this would actually be an ideal opportunity to make a demo for AOP. Presuming that Playlogic ARE telling the truth and the game will be late, and keep in mind the wave of interest thats coming with the release of POTC2 movie and games.
Now the movies is apparently ok but the reviews for the game are really bad. If Akella had a demo for AOP a simple 200-300 meg download for everyone they would gobble that up in this new found pirate spirit. Then at the end of the demo just say it will be out in October or so. This way people will remember your game and you would have had the best exposure possible dues to everyone looking on the internet for pirate games.
If you only give people the option to buy title a from Disney or Title b from Akella with only a box cover to use as a giude they will probably go for disney (remember the bulk of sales are from noobs).
So with the next couple of month's wait for the "distributer" Akella could spend the next few weeks preparing a demo of some kind.
Thats what I reckon
