It was an opportunity that presented itself too late for Stern's 2016 anniversary, yet it was green-lighted by some boob. Anyways, well before the layout was finalized or the game completed, the hype machine geared up. Game release was mishandled with Stern increasing the planned run size and allowing a loosely organized video contest to run awry. Yet this game was presented near Expo under a golden spotlight. That the game was not playable and was lacking basic code did not deter Gary from announcing delivery before yearend (2 months later). Gomez assured everyone of biweekly code releases until finished. The game continued to be expertly hyped through release. Flash forward to today and it is no wonder that so many broken promises and crushed expectations have killed the enthusiasm of many original buyers. Maybe some BM66 Owners will feel its ok to come out and admit the game is about average, or so so.

In its current alpha form, it's not even so-so. And yet, 111 days since the last code of any kind was released. Next month is a YEAR since it was revealed, and it's not even what many would consider beta yet.

I'm sure plenty of BM'66 owners are jonesing for the next AWESOME Ka-Pow production announcement next month so they can do this all over again. :/
