Korby speculates on the marketing strategy behind 10’s quiet launch

Apr 1, 2006 2 min.

Personally, I always hated it when people in various product groups at Microsoft would ask me to blog about a specific launch or event… because if I decided to do it, my blog post would go up into a sea of similar posts all appearing within a few hours of each other on blogs.msdn.com. How does that make you, the reader, feel? Like you are having information pushed at you through a channel that is normally about technical matters.

Elder Scrolls will now be my official addiction… sorry to anyone who is waiting on work from me :)

I picked up my copy of Elder Scrolls last night, turning down the massive ‘guide’ (shouldn’t I be figuring out the quests by myself?), and after putting the kids to bed I fired it up. Hard to make those initial race/class decisions as always but I went with a Dark Elf Archer, under the sign of the Steed… planning to put a lot of time/points into Blade though, as I almost always do with my RPG characters (my AC character was named Kendo, so you can gather that the sword was a key component).

My dad has recently retired from the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), but I’m sure his opinion of a game like Need for Speed: Most Wanted wouldn’t be any better just because he isn’t going to work anymore. In this game, if you haven’t played it already, you are a street racer… so you race on open streets with traffic all around, buildings and other property to smash through… as opposed to a game like PGR3 where you are nice and safe closed courses with all the people safely tucked behind concrete and steel barriers.
