Awesome! I registered, I was only off-and-on active in the MC threads on GAF and only lurked on Era, but this time around maybe I'll post more...

Dang dread almost doing 100k brings a tear of joy to my eye.

Hello everyone !

Just a quick update. We are processing every single request, we didn't forget any of you but it'll take some time.

To be completely honest and transparent, there are currently more than 500 people in the queue. We are approving people manually and in small batches so bear with us.

Thanks for all the enthousiasm and support ❤

See you soon

So nice to see you here @Lelouch0612. I'll put in my InstallBase request now.

Not able to participate at Install Base yet, but it seems like Demon Slayer is doing even worse than expected in Japan?

Any hints for hardware this week? Is it assumed that Nintendo prioritised Western markets with the OLED model or is the supply limited elsewhere as well?

• Sonic Colors performed incredibly well on switch
• Life is Strange did well
• Lost Judgement bombed
• Nintendo, release Dane or your business is dead

Sonic Colors performed incredibly well on switch

Which makes it even more baffling why the Switch wasn't the primary platform for the port when it was obvious that's where majority of the demographic would be. C'mon Sega.

The game seemed to have suffered from a lack of time and budget (a sonic game with poor planning? GASP!) Even the creator of Godot engine said that the version they used wasn't the best fit for the job, so Blind Squirrel probably had to work harder than neccessary to get the game running before time ran out

Oh I'm not blaming the actual devs at all, they did the best they could with what they're given. The blame lies solely on Sega's management with their incompetence and frankly bizarre lack of foresight on this release.

Sega is a horribly run business and has been for decades. I honestly can’t think of the last truly smart decision they’ve made.

Going in harder on PC support than some other JP devs this side of Capcom.

Annnnnd that's about all I can think of...
