Hmm. I've been busy enjoying my WOZ for the past while, so much so that I really haven't had time to check in on Pinside. I wonder, did anything new or interesting happen during my absense?

**Reads through thread**

Ah. Freaky. It's like I've entered a repeating time loop, where the exact same people are doing the exact same stuff about the exact same things in the exact same way, to the exact same result. Incredulously, it appears that no one caught in the time loop actually realizes they're reliving the same thing they were doing last week... last month... last year... over and over again, each time as if it were the first.

Oh well. Carry on!

Well, except the opinions of those pesky JJP volunteers!

If you think about it, the poll is meaningless and the options loaded. It's like asking people if they prefer their death to be slow and horrific, or quick and painless. No one in their right mind picks slow, just like no one would choose to "send their money years in advance" if there was the option not to. I think a more interesting poll would've involved options of what it would now take to convince someone to preorder under such a model.

I was okay with the pre-order system for WOZ; it made perfect sense considering the newness of the company and the regular flow of new information. But I do not like it at all with The Hobbit, especially with the almost total absense of new information during the past year. A third game? I already think requiring any significant payment of TH before people had WOZ was a massive mistake.
