So Dave, what's the verdict? It’s Thursday and New York is pushing for an answer.

Bad news. The clipping issues with the new vehicle type were fixed, but the Naval Operations Center failed QABeta again. It seems the size of the model is causing problems. We probably should have opted for something stationary in retrospect. In any case, this entire content package revolves around the NOC, so we need to start looking at alternatives. You have a moment to go over some options?

Make it fast. I have a meeting in 15 minutes.

The hotring filler content is done, and we could probably add a few vehicles to transform races. But really the only option we have is to release at least some of the content from the Naval Warfare package next week.

Ugh… what a disaster. Fine, but not more than half a dozen cars from Naval. I’m also fine with just a helicopter or a sea plane but nothing weaponized and certainly no hovercrafts. Naval needs to be the new meta upon release and not before. Just include some more sports classics and maybe an electric super or a rally car. Also, our designers can usually provide some shelved content if you push hard enough. They scrap way too much as it is. Have I ever told you how I barely managed to stop Thomas from deleting the Torero model that was created by one of the interns? Imagine his face when it still sold for almost a million!

Yeah, I’ve already asked Design for shelved content. There’s a list of cars, but we’ll need another week to address some concerns. To name a few: the Vulcar Fagaloa is good quality, but the engine model is still a work in progress. The GB200 doesn’t have functional rally fogs so that one still needs to be updated to current standards. Thomas still hasn’t finished the new suicide doors for the new Entity and the Jester classic never received any liveries since it was put on hold. Finally, the look and feel of some of the shelved supercars were deemed to be either too controversial or too crude. Design wanted to take a further look at them first.

Listen Dave.. our players should be happy that we even release the Jester after shelving further development of the Benny content package. Just add the generic tuner engine model to the Fagaloa and release the rest as is. Nobody cares about working fog lights or suicide doors, and the looks of those shelved supercars will probably appeal to our younger players. Just get it done Dave. I need to be able to tell New York that we will release something after the weekend.

Okay.. But to be fair, Marketing is going to struggle with this. It’s quite an inconsistent list of vehicles and no substantial content.

Nonsense Dave. Its mostly cars right? Sell it as a racing update. Just name it something like San Andreas.. ehm.. Super Speed … Sports. Series. Or something. Yeah, that’s gold. Write down that name and have the marketing boys create something around the Hotring content. Also, make sure our designers add more transform races within the next couple of weeks. And some race suits! Any generic design in a few different colors will do just fine for now. We’ll just have to make do.

Got it. Thanks.

Oh and Dave… add one of the Warstock vehicles as well. Something we don’t expect to be a sales hit anyway, like that new technical. Better get some returns on it before we release the new stealth vehicles, so bump the price a little will you? And make sure we do what we can to drain player funds in the coming weeks. Put the Dump on sale or something, it seems to be popular on Reddit. Or change the sell limit to flush out some more cheaters. And have Annie at Social put some fan art or something about Pogo on twitter. That should calm things down. People love Pogo.
