I was dead serious sapi. I plan on working for CA in brisbane, possibly as a PR guy.

I hope you know that many will hate you then.

Why does CA doesn't have community pet ?

If this was TWC i'd expect the topic to be about me given the fact people seem to think im paid by CA over there. When in fact im just very, very lucky to have the contact with the devs i have.

And i think sapi summed up the reason why CA don't have a devoted community liasion.

If i recall correctly, CA does read the forums, but having any staff member post here can cause more problems than it solves (ie expectations for the future, and the need for that dev to constantly check back with hq to see what he's posting)

Especially now that CA are owend by SEGA, any dev member has to check with both the head of the dev teams and SEGA before posting any juicy info.

well its true there is the checking problem and also when people develop ideas about future. but this happens anyway I think it works great to lionhead and relic that why i gave them as an example lionhead as well was solved out to a bigger company , and still they run a community pet. and while it may give troubles a bit , its worth while this troubles and will do mostly good.
besides he doesn't have to report everything , like the others he just need to throw of some info from time to time to specific important questions and mostly just talk with the people to keep them happy :D.

and about the official forums , of course it should be there and not in an unofficial fan site, but this site is way better and have more community alive :).
