[RANT] Losing faith in DEARS
Back from the "battlefield"....FREEDOM AT LAST.......!!
I spent some time going through my friends pages and see what I've missed out on lately. I suppose the talk of the town is the postponement on the release of the GACKT DVD. So from memory, they've delayed the release of this DVD for the second time now. Fans have been excessively "imagining" reasons upon reasons as to why the release has been pushed to 2010 XD
To me, a delay for a one-off occassion is OK, something must have happened and it's understandable but doing it twice, to me, is just false advertising. So you got all the lovely pictures and whatever to entice the consumers to buy the product and then all you do is type a few words on your webpage to say that the product release has been pushed back 2 months?
If you haven't got the product ready then DON'T advertise it! At the very least have a prototype which is near 90% completion. Anything less, is just not acceptable. Don't go crazily promoting the thing, like as if it's going to hit the shelves (not literally) the next day and hope and pray to the spirits that you'll be able to finish the project before the release date.
It's just not fair on the fans or the consumers that had pre-ordered/PAID for the product.
To tell you the truth, I'm starting to lose faith in the management for DEARS releases (NOTE: not GACKT, himself) - it's like as if they don't give a damn. If they were given the choice of expediency and quality control - they'd definitely go for the first option. I mean, if only one person went and actually did a quality control check on the LOST ANGELS CD, they would have been able to fix the issue before the release. It would have saved all the trouble of getting consumers to return the faulty disks and having to mass reproduce the CD for DEARS and all the other things that resulted from that issue.
But, with that said, I guess it's not too bad of an idea that the release has been postponed, at least maybe this time they can actually check and verify that the product is final and complete before they ship it out XD
