I imagine that they have a lot of things to do right now, so paying attention to marketing and communication isn’t currently at the top of their priorities.
Good moves, especially the second one, because having a company profile (and not just a product profile) on Twitter is important to connect with players and to help people understanding who you are.
I hope they’ll do the same with this forum, it would make a lot of sense and minimize some confusion now that they have developed more than one game.
If I was a developer, I wouldn’t build a community for my games on a property owned by others. Publishers can change.
It’s more likely that the owner of the RtMI IP will never change, though. But I think that it’s not probable that Disney has some sort of exclusive in creating a discussion board about RtMI.
In my opinion, the cleaner solution would be to move this forum under the terribletoybox domain and create a section for each developed game, if compatible with all the agreements.
Sorry, I wasn’t clear in my previous post. I meant that if I was Ron, I wouldn’t host an “official” RtMI forum on any website/property owned by Devolver Digital.
So, even if Devolver would create their own forum, as mentioned by Someone, that wouldn’t change anything for Ron.
Yes, we should de-offtopic every discussion, it wouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
That Twitter profile has six followers, though. I don’t expect an horde of huns invading this place any time soon. The forum stats are comfortingly flat like my encephalogram.
