i was wondering if anyone from this site or mixnmojo was able to get in touch with Mike Stemmle to hear what he's got to say about this...
I still think it's really suspicious that Stemmle hasn't said anything about it yet, i'll still have a tiny bit of hope until then...
i hope mike comes out and says continue on your campaign and barrage 2 lucasarts its making a difference and we might be re-instated or sumthin
yeah, that is what i'm hoping for, well, that or Mike coming out and saying "it was a joke! we were kidding!!"
Yeah man! That would be like, totally rad!
When the hell did this happen?
Somebody got his e-mail address?
April 1st, he's going to come outside of Lucasarts in his underwear and yell, "We were kidding! Sorry guys."
No really. I honestly do believe this a joke. Nobody with brains would cancel a game Steve Purcell himself called "beautifully retooled for the 21st century"
I am not speaking sarcasm. Until Stemmle speaks, I regard this as a cruel joke. I have faith in Sam and Max 2, got a problem with that?
Yeah, i have faith in Sam and Max Too (get it? 2 = too... oh, well... :D )
Mike,
Talk to us. We're dying to find out more. It's been almost a week!
maybe its some sick and twisted april fool's joke :)
yeah, and they'll surprise us showing it at E3 :)
if they did this to check if there was still interest in the game or in the genre, i'm sure they've got enough answers already...
I think its very diffucult to know if its a joke, especially when Stemmler hasnt said anything, with all due respect, if they where sincere with their work, they would say something, but then again, if it is a conspiracy (read more in the conspiracy thread) then i can understand why they do this, i know it sounds odd what im saying, i probably would have done the same, to check the market, again, it wasnt necessary to check the market...Ok iґll stop rambling now hehe :)
Steve Purcell's reaction probably cuts into the conspiracy theory. But hey, whatever it takes to get Sam and Max to hit the shelves.
Write pr@lucasarts every day, I know I am!
Corporations generally don't joke, don't get your hopes up.
back to the original question: is there anyone who knows how to contact mike steemle?
Mike still works for Lucas Arts so he'll probably remain quite unless he's told to give some sort of statement. And even so, he'd probably suck up to Lucas Arts, so what's the point?
My guess is Lucas Arts will start dismissing people from the S&M2 team in the near future - not that I WANT it to happen, but most of their Star Wars crap is developed by third-parties so they'll probably want to downsize and save a few bucks - so we should hear more about it in a few weeks.
Yeah, he can't say anything without risking his job, but if I was him, at this point I wouldn't be caring.
