This is my speculation. Very soon a competing game is coming out that is getting allot of buzz in the off topic section.

IMO EA is holding back any major content to coincide with the Family Guy game major release. That would keep the TSTO players occupied for a while until the buzz dies down a bit.

For the most part the average human only plays one game at a time. Unless of course you are doctor octo :shock: :mrgreen: The rumors of several levels and perhaps even whacking day 2014 happening at the same time may be true.

That makes sense for EA business.

until than I would expect small updates and tie in's.

Than again I hope I am wrong :-) 8)

Hadn't thought of that, but from a marketing perspective it makes perfect sense. If they hadn't thought of this already, you've just given EA some food for thought...

Frankly, in my opinion, this is horrible marketing strategy. To illustrate using a silly analogy, consider paper towels. Imagine I've established strong product loyalty to Brawny (this analogy is truly pathetic). Brawny paper towels start declining in quality, customers are totally frustrated with them, complain to the public and on consumer sites thats all you hear is complaints, etc. A rival company, Bounty, announces they are coming out with a new towel that's better. Are you saying that Brawny would purposely continue disenfranchising and ignoring its customers, with a plan to suddenly release a far superior product at the same time as Bounty's much-hyped product?

Sorry. At that point I'd be looking for something better, and would have seen how BAD Brawny could be. Id expect that, if it didn't care about my complaints the first time, they wouldn't pay attention in the future. I'd switch games knowing I was abandoning a company capable (and willing) to let their product fall apart. And I'd never look back.

If that's their strategy, they're taking a Monstrous risk.
