Its easy to focus on the negatives, cause they ALWAYS stand out, but if everything was being screwed up, how are sales increasing so fast? AMFE is not a one trick pony, there are dozens of major initiatives in motion... and like ALL businesses, big or small, some things are going to lag and/or fail. This is not uncommon for any company, esp one growing so FAST

If AMFE had one or two initiatives and were screwing them up (like most pennies) i would be concerned... but is see SOLID GROWTH (audited), regardless of all the claims about initiatives lagging/failing.

Our sales window is MUCH greater than Christmas... By next Christmas people could be buying copies for their friends, cause they played it for months and know they would enjoy it... Snakes can push these titles for YEARS within the locations, to thousands of people per week... then it'll become thousands per day as they grow.

the wait sucks, i get it... but getting these games RIGHT is the #1 priority.

And Unicorns are not a short term fad... If someone is not into them (like me), they might not understand how big unicorns really are, until they do DD...

Why the unicorn has become the emblem for our times

“The unicorn has been popular at various points for at least 3,000 years,” says Dr Miles Leeson, director of the Iris Murdoch Research Centre and a lecturer in English literature. “They were considered as real in the ancient world by the Greeks – they appear in books of natural history, not books about the gods. The Old Testament contains possible mentions of unicorns, and from there they have been incorporated into Western art and culture, surfacing at various times, including the Medieval period and the Renaissance. The unicorn also has a role to play in Chinese mythology.”

So the unicorn has had commercial value for centuries. Then as a medicinal panacea, now as body glitter and cuddly toys. Which seems a bit of a comedown for the noble creature. It was the pervy old Victorians who turned this sexy beast into a child’s fantasy. “They romanticised many of the bestiary images,” says Lawrence, “though the Victorians actually had unicorn porn, too.”

TV and films are also overrun by unicorns. The My Little Pony franchise had been through various makeovers since it launched in 1982, but the current incarnation – My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – made more than $1bn in 2015. My Little Pony: The Movie, starring Emily Blunt and Zoe Saldana, is out in UK cinemas next week. The main star is Pegasus/unicorn cross Princess Twilight Sparkle.
