Warning: Potential Failure to Deliver

Well, here's a shocker. According to PSU GM ChillAura, there's a problem with the next content update and it may not be ready for delivery by the time next Friday rolls around.

If this does in fact turn out to be the case, it means Sega will have failed at their "every two weeks" update strategy... after only four weeks.

According to his post at the official forums:

Just for the record this was most definitely not a promise: "We actually have updates scheduled 2 weeks apart for the rest of the year, although we do not yet assume that we can rely on this."

We might have some news for you tomorrow, but there are issues with the scheduled update for 10/24 and we are waiting to hear back from Sonic Team as to when they can realistically go live with the next content update.

I hinted at this back in a previous blog post: Sega of America has no confidence in their update schedule. However, it would be in Sega's best interests to get the work done and roll out content on time. With each passing week with no updates, more people leave. Getting some of these updates delivered on schedule would at least stop the bleeding somewhat -- though I guess if Sega hasn't figured that out by now, they never will.
