What's Asobo's "Save the Date" announcement?

[Chock 17,765]

Stringing out all the teaser campaign for their new flight sim as they are doing, is rapidly reaching the point where it is outstaying its welcome. Frankly, it is starting to get annoying and counter-productive.

I don't think so. They probably just accidentally sent it to all insiders not just Alpha testers.

I'm an insider and didn't get the email. Maybe they sent the wrong email, and it was supposed to be the invite.

I don't want to even think of what would happen to this forum if the FS20 team went into radio silence. Come on, we have been teased for 10 months now, what is a puny 8 month waiting left  (maybe seven of they release it for Thanksgiving 😋)!

Isn't it fairly obvious. This is what they said in the last update:

 

“WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ONCE THE NDA HAS BEEN LIFTED?”

• AVSIM THREAD

And maybe we can help fulfill some of those requests in the next update!

Pretty sure that's not what they meant. They'll just read that thread and find alpha tester (or even take their own) pictures of some of the requests.

My guess: a grand announcement for the release date of the video presenting the new background color of their road map.

If this announcement is something big, i.e. a release date or coming early access, they will have timed it just right I think.

But I agree that they can't keep this up another 6 months. Something has to give or the hype will die out.

Looks like it was a specs announcement.

I'm hoping for a "Save the Date vol 2", otherwise I'm really disappointed.

Why disappointed? I'm sure releasing specs means that it's much further along than expected and maybe we get it sooner. They are confident enough that they have it stable and optimized.

I was hoping for a release date or a public paid beta 🙂

I can't deny that would have been better...

Was not a good reason to save the date!

Asobo you have got to be joking!  You release specs, big deal, what a let down!

How about uploading some videos and screenshots, by way of apology.

Or better yet, just open the alpha to everyone who applied... Talk about treating your community like trash, way to go!
