I think this could have been avoided if we had put pressure on Eidos from the beginning, with polls, petitions, whatever, making it clear we wanted Russell back.

Are you serious? You actually think HR is WORSE than IW? Like it or not, there's no way in hell any single sane person could think that.
Oh yes, I wrote some pretty long essays on here about it too, I believe Dethtoll linked them in another thread at some point. Say what you want, at least I stand firm on my opinions.

I think this was something that was very clear ever since the first Thi4f teaser. Especially since the bastards said Stephen was in to record early in production.

They lied.

We did.

That's even worse...
Giving us hopes, and then destroying them :(

We've been saying we wanted Russell for Garrett and Benny since 2008. A lot. A lot of us. In many threads and fora. Stephane D'Astous acknowledged the collective desire in his 2009 interviews. In threads discussing a future T4, back in 2004 while TDS was still new, and every year since, the wish was also stated.

And if they lied about that, what else have they lied about? What else is EM simply providing as lip service to the fans? This game is going to have very little in common with Thief beyond enough token similarity that it allows them to attach it to the IP, mark my words.

I dunno why anyone becomes a developer. I don't think there's any single job in the world where your fanbase hates you as readily and openly as being a game designer.
Well, maybe prison guards and professional snitches have it a little worse off. But not by much.
Hey. I just saw that Azaran lives in Montreal. Why don't we get him to sneak into EM and see what the hell is going on. Maybe he can get a screenshot for us or something.

As much as I like about some things, I won't swallow the hype until I see it ain't all smoke and mirrors. Don't buy the game if you can't get a refund, suckers. If you buy the game, they win, no matter how you don't really like a lot of it, force yourself to like it, settle for less, take all you can get, think of it as an FM, enjoy it "for what it is", and other psychological tricks you will play to make it fun, because the truth hurts too much.
