I allready said this in one post but i figure its strong enough to start a new thread over it….

I am not wating 10 extra months for somthing thats allready finished because of moronic board room bullshit.

Honestly, this is the most idiotic, insulting thing that you could do to your fan base. We ghostbusters fans, have waited years, for anything new, and all we have gotten is shitty left overs and sub standard rehashes of crap that just happens to bare the ghostbusters logo. To boot, we've been feed a non stop bullshit stream of false hopes and rumors regarding a third film, and have gotten nothing but fustration and agervation for 19 years.

Its so bad, that we, the fans, have had to resort to BUILDING OUR OWN MERCHANDISE. How many fans have spent thousands of dollars of there own money, building a proton pack or a uniform, or an ecto 1 replica? More so, how many of us who dont have the resources, skill or time to build our own products have spent hundreds of dollars buying USED ACTION FIGURES off of ebay?

I mean, common man! Then, a bright and shining light, the whole cast is back, in a video game, and its being billed as the third movie, and we wait an entire year with little info, only to have the game delayed just 2-3 months before its release, because of coporate bullshit.

Then, to add insult to injury, they dont give us any solid infomation, and then they put out a rumor they want to delay the game by 10 MONTHS, completly bypassing the holiday season, ALL SO THEY CAN SLAP A 25TH ANAVERSARY STICKER on the box?

Honest to god, ive had it. I really have. I love my beloved franchise, i love being a member of what is in my view, the greatest fan base ever, but i honestly cant stand this constant ASS RAPING we fans keep getting, and all for what?

You dont see them delaying star wars games or a shortage of figures. Hell, star trek fans get new trek shit every single day.

But us… we always get the shaft, and im sick and tired of it. I really am. We need to unite, stand up, and say to sony and those in charge, WE AS FANS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING IGNORED.

Honestly. Are we just going to sit there and let them hand us what ever table scraps they want to toss our way?

Or are we going to make our voice heard? FLOOD THERE EMAILS with messages. Sign Protests, let them know we want we have waited 19 years for, NOW, and rightfully so

WHOS WITH ME?

Before I discuss the topic at hand:

It's “Come on” and “their email”.


Beyond sending lots of emails, what else do you suggest? Whilst there would be a surge to begin with, email blasts seem to loose strength rather quickly… and unfortunately I don't know what we could really do that'd change Sony's stance on things. They know they can make shitty decisions and not have to really worry about repercussions because they know the fans will still by the stuff whenever it comes out.

Well……..

We could always do this….

as much as I love to bring the big girl to life and stomp on sony's HQ alas we can't but we can just sit back wait and not buy any crap from them till we are heard.

I'm with you. What do you want to do? I can help with the little bit of free time I have.
May I suggest one thing though?

I think that we should at least wait until the original release date has passed before we do anything drastic because we don't know whats going on yet.It would make us all look like asses if we started a movment when they were on the way to fixing it for us you know what I mean. That would probably insure that we never get anything again but the lame DVD's

after that day & no Ghostbusters , I'll get the Good slime and head to liberty Island with ya!
send me a PM and let me know what you have in mind.

yes, i figure, wait intill oct 21st before we storm sony HQ, but…we have to stand up for ourselves as fans. We really do

Well, I actually work at a studio that's a few blocks from Sony.

I could totally go.

I even have the game shirt.

BUT SONY doesn't have a publisher for the game yet.

I have a NEW THEORY.

I think they're on to us. They probably have a publisher ready, but they're gonna wait until the last possible moment - even AFTER the 21st of October - to say a word.

So, assuming everyone is right and they just want to slap a sticker on it, they can feign ignorance and say, “we COULDN'T have published it then! We didn't have a publisher!”

This, too, sounds very corporate and very Sony.

Seriously - I've worked with companies like Sony. A lot like Sony. Like, sooooo similar… *ahem.*

They have a room full of guys somewhere that just sit around and think this kind of crap up - rooms of analysts, all looking into issues some dude in a suit jacket - often a woman, thinks up.

Please be aware, however, that this post, while seemingly brilliant, is actually 50% information and 50% B.S. so I could still be very wrong.

I just got done watching Ghostbusters 2, sitting on the couch in my hot topic gb t-shirt and I noticed something. Every electronic device in that movie, tape players etc. has “SONY” plastered on it. Did they even own Columbia Pictures by then, or are they just that evil?

I say after the 21st or whatever, we storm the place and beat them with our props ^_^

*As far as I know SONY didn't buy out Columbia from Coca-Cola until AFTER GBII was “in-the-can” …

*But however, “yes” they are just that evil…And as far as I'm concerned - ALL “corporations” are…

*::COUGH:: Activision ::COUGH::…

(*rant)(*rant)(*rant)
*Further “market research”…Companies do that shit, especially when it comes to brands that, for what ever asinine reason - They don't think are guaranteed “money-makers”, or won't “maximize their profits”…I guess [if this is the case with SONY or whomever] that after all this time they still don't think the GB name alone “will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams”…

*And I guess not, if they keep shooting out substandard product like the DVD rehashes, and keep soiling their own name by outright denying further GB adventures on the big screen, and delaying the game further…OH - And let's not forget how badly they treated/promoted EGB back in 1997…

*I honestly believe that after all this time, the countless BILLIONS of dollars in revenue generated in the last 24 years, and the teeming masses that CRAVE GB, “hardcore” and “casual” alike, they still are f*cking CLUELESS, or refuse to believe to what a gold-mine they are sitting on…Mostly just because they seem to see it as a “washed-up 80's property” , and not the “next big hit”…

*Need I bring-up remakes?…I.e. “the only way a studio will even touch an older property” ? Just because *insert hack “visionary director” here* decides to make *insert classic movie here* “relevent” to the “hip current generation”, and making it “marketable” to the moronic general public, and the aforementioned “younger set” - To whom in fact are the “new consumers”, guaranteed to make their profit margins surge?

*MONEY = ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

*Cheers.

Honestly if they were really smart and really wanted even more of our money, they'd release the game on time in October then next year release a 25th anniversary edition with some small, bonus, exclusive content or maybe an art book. I know I would be like “Crap now I have to buy this game again.”
