    I'd hate to be the employee that has to tell their rabid fan base that it's been rejected.

    Meh, I wouldn't mind hearing that it is rejected. I mean, it would be unfortunate news, but I wouldn't blame them for it. This is just a game after all, and it will be released before too long. I'd much rather hear it has been rejected than just hear nothing.

    I totally agree. And it may of been for a legitimate reason (bug, crash, etc) that ngmoco may of overlooked.

    I'm talking about the rabid fans who've had no patience the entire Eliminate development.

    Hmm... Same here. They could have answered no everything is still unchanged and still with apple. But somehow they choose not to answer. I'm sure they would have told us if it got approved since it's a positive message. But negative ones need to be discussed with the whole team first. NDA prohibits them to talk about that in detail and I'm sure most people would want to know then. .... So they may choose to be quiet about it fir now.

    Be optimistic that it will approve. If it's rejected, then be optimistic about them improving the app a bit more both bug-wise and maybe feature-wise. If they didn't add anything when it comes out after that 1st rejection, then be happy that it's out! That way you'll be happy either way.

    Although if it gets rejected again then be optimistic that they don't give up submitting it! And if they do, well..... crap.

    I hate to be a killjoy but the name change can NOT bring about anything good.

    If it was approved, they would tell us. It either means that...

    a) They got a message from apple saying its going to be another week or two.

    b) its been rejected.

    Or maybe they realized the "Coming soon!" part wasn't necessary.

    True. At least we know where we stand and how long to wait until its out... if it's rejected then we will have to wait another 3 weeks or so but we will at least know that there's no need to check a couple times a day.

    Yeah, but there will always be the people who are way too impatient, it doesn't really matter whether you maintain silence or keep updates for those people. I think most people are just excited about the game and are looking forward to playing it, but are rational about how the App Store works. If there were any serious bugs Apple uncovered, than rejection is the best idea, rather than potentially angering a lot of downloaders.

    While the NDA technically says you can't mention why your game got rejected, I don't think it prohibits you from saying that it did get rejected. Still, lets hope it hasn't been rejected and this entire conversation is a pointless way to kill time ;)

    That is definitely possible. In fact, that part really never was necessary. But still, changing the title just before the game is supposed to come out and the thread would close anyways seems a bit strange. You're probably right, though, and there isn't anything to read here.

    I think you guys are being a little too paranoid about this. Of course it could possibly mean something but it can also mean that they just felt like taking that out for no reason.

    Just tweeted ngmoco asking for a reason for the name change. If enough people do it, we could get a reply.

    I think by now there is a reason for this. Since no Mod here comments on the change of why he/she did this! There must be a reason.

    Haha, good move, hope it works. I'd join you, but I don't even know how to tweet - I just use twitter for reading what other people say :p

    I think it is less about paranoia than it is about boredom. There isn't a whole lot else to discuss that is on topic, so speculation about the name change is something to do here while we wait for the game. We did the same thing speculating about why Rolando 2 was a day late ;)

    Nah, "must" is the wrong word. There might be a reason. There also might not be any reason more significant that a moderator who realized that the old name looked tacky.
