Mystery Stream Next Week | What's Coming?!

How can you possibly know what it would have been?

I haven't even turned my computer on to do any gaming as it's been that hot. Not everyone has the space for an air conditioning unit.

Don't bring Quantum Field Theory in to it!
That said, it is easier to navigate than this forum.

 

Really? That's not what was said in the press handout I received

 

Yep, right here.

I love how people are continuing to complain about DTG "cancelling due to the heat", despite absolutely zero evidence of that being the case and my post further up pointing out that DTG has A/C and a large office space people can work in. If anything, they may have taken the decision to push it back based on the assumption that not many people would be watching because they'd be outside in the cooler evening air / shopping for ice cream / chilling at the pub (delete according to preference)

It was just over 35° today where I am (France) and I was in meetings and video calls all day in the office. The only heat-related discomfort I encountered was going out to get lunch. Businesses with A/C don't shut down when the outside temperature hits 29°.

 

they’re taking our livestreams

 

At this point I would appreciate some honest and open communication, but I don't expect it. It is a computer game, not an essential service that they provide after all. It just seems the confidence levels are low with what they are planning to put out across the board whether it is an announced DLC, an update or huge fix or something new and radical.

Why mystery and then cancel? They could've done anything and we'd be none the wiser.

I think the announcement could've been along the lines of

'We've got something we're hoping is going to be ready, but it's a bank holiday just in the UK so it's a bit trickier to schedule a livestream. We know we said we'd have something by now and we haven't shared any news for a while and it is fairly close, but it might not be ready. We'll try for a livestream Thursday next week, but we'll cancel 24 hours out if we're not ready'.

Take most of the mystery out of it. It isn't the time to be building hype.

 

as I said before, the "mystery" was clearly the trent valley preview livestream which they planned to release probably the week of the 18th or maybe even the week of the 11th (the date that was published the steam page for trent valley)
but apparently, something is going very wrong with this DLC

 

Arguing whether the heat has anything to do with it is scraping the barrel...

It's as simple as this for me... It been cancelled. It is a bit of a frustration, but it is not the end of the world. Whether it is due to heat, unforseen circumstances, or any other reason I just accept it and move on now. DTG age human as are the Devs and things happen. You can't base your entire life around these things. I love the streams and previews, but they are not the centre of my world so when these things happen I just think, "a bit frustrating but I'll watch it another time".

Was I looking forward to it? Yes. Was I curious what it was? Also yes. But am I going to get annoyed with DTG or any type of Devs about it? Definitely not. No promises were made, and I'm still none the wiser what was going to be streamed. Add to that as I've already mentioned, they are all human and these things happen.

As others have said, in this heat I'm not particularly one for playing games as my Scottish genetics don't agree with the 35° weather that we had in London and I've been sweating like a glass blowers axxx so gaming is the least of my worries at the moment.

I have half a dozen Guinea Pigs and a lovely old hen called Hilda to look after and keep me focused and they are my priorities at the moment and to get them through the heatwave as it effects them.

None the less, hopefully the stream will be given a new date within the next 7 days. And on the subject of that, it could well be the North London Line extension!
