Hi.
I think what has happened to James is the guy just made several bad
decisions. Once he got in to the hole he is in no matter what he did he
just got dug in deeper. Tje arcade games were good, and I have no doubt
the new titles would have been good to, but unfortunately by preordering
the titles everyone then expected a reasonable time limit on the titles.
That is not an unjustified argument. When Lucas Arts offered Preorders
for Revenge of the Sith you knew a couple of months ahead of time the
game was shipping on May 5 or whatever the actual date was.
A single practically one-manned operation can't make those kinds of
deadlines reliably. Unless of course he works very hard to do so.
