no, i dont think thats the case anymore the first 1-2 weeks after it was submitted, hell yea that felt like a long time. but now, its officially a long time, its been what, 3 weeks and some days? :/ im just glad my excitement for this game is dead. i mean yea ima still dl and play it..but im not obsessing over it anymore -yay-
I hate to love Apple. They release great products(iPod, iPhone, Mac) then they pull this same old **** that just annoys the **** out of me. Apple needs to grow a pair and adress the public about their awful approval system. Agreed? --DDL
The "14 days thing" was just a statistic. 1st of all they could be testing it on accounts we have not spotted yet. 2nd Eliminate is a complicated app. They need to test the connection via wifi and 3G online, the gameplay, and any bugs that happen to come their way. I'm pretty sure an app this big can come with a lot of bugs so it definitely needs to be tested in multiple ways so there won't be many complaints. As you can see, there are now apps that have been approved before eliminate was and those other appd were submitted after eliminate was. It's not one of your little apps that you just play it, fix tiny bugs, and approve. Although this is just an educated guess. If apple were to be any more stupid than they are (Yes I went there) then they haven't even begun testing eliminate.
No its not out in Canada just checked. It wont be out til 3 weeks, I think. iMech took 43 days and its less complicated. Im looking at a late November, early December release. I HOPE SO MUCH that it comes out on Halloween night but face the facts it wont.
I know right. Why do they have to explore and test every little aspect of this game? What do they think is in there that is so wrong? I mean it's not like you're gonna be playing Eliminate or TOUCHPETS: Dogs and a random piece of uncensored pornography shows up...I mean seriously WTF just approve it: Apple you freakin a**holes!!
Alright guys, I am just so pissed right now its not even funny. MJ willl the ngmoshow this week have eliminate stuff on it. Gonna go play 5 minutes and wait more and more.
Few new images were added to their media folder. Live Arena Statistics. Guess I was right about that, too.
If it were to be that long, this would happen: 1) There would be over 9000 posts. 2) This thread would be in utter chaos. 3) Chuck Norris would have murdered Steve by now. 4) The App Store would be full of useless comments for a lot of apps... wait.. 5) Thrashing TBN would be boring now. 6) 80% of the posters in this thread would've suicided. 7) And Lastly, Eliminate would be crap now. And if any of you takes this list seriously, the utter chaos may be closer than expected. Don't judge me. I'm pissed.
We are probably still weeks away...it is what it is... that's the way things go. The app is far to complicated to get it approved within 30 days... 30 days of waiting time for game makers like EA in the regular game industry is nothing... but 30 days of waiting time for small developers can really piss off. The whole process seems too random. 1. You can't be certain your apps is going to get accepted. 2. Never know when. That's a major turn off. The problem is next time they will brag with their 14 days or less approval time in 95% of the cases most people in the room will just laugh about that.... there's been so much negative media coverage about the whole process it's just disgusting.
I also just realized that you can't find friends using the search functions. That's the reason I can't find AppleTest01/02 anymore...but AppleTest03/04 isn't there. I'm sure they have different teams testing different games... so it's like the same people approving touch pets will approve eliminate. The other group my have signed up under different names and most likely already had personal plus+ accounts.
That's what I suspected. Although even if this were to be true, it could still take a long time. I can't be bothered making another prediction when it comes out again.
