Star Trek Online: TrekCore Held Interview with Daron Stinnett

TrekCore Gaming released today their interview with P2's Daron Stinnett, which was conducted few months ago and was put on publishing hold due to a P2 request. Here's the forward for the interview:

Straight off, I want the readers to know that this interview took place months before the game was shelved by Perpetual. I was taking a vacation down in California, and requested Perpetual to allow me to tour their studio one day and perhaps do an interview for TrekCore to help promote the game. They graciously agreed to this. After returning home, and transcribing the audio into the transcript below, I sent it away for approval. The reply from Chris Launius (then head of Community Relations) was as follows:

"Hey Michael, after discussing this more with the team and putting everything into perspective, we would really like to hold off on this interview for a few months until we get a little closer to starting the media communications.

We have been trying to maintain Radio Silence as much as possible and really feel that interviews and such on this level really go against the will of that."

I replied, and they never responded to it. I asked a few months later if they were ready, and they didn't reply again. So now that Perpetual has lost the game, and it will either be canceled or transferred to a new developer, who will likely change many, many things, I felt this might as well go out there to get a bit of a better idea of what Perpetual envisioned. So keep in mind, whoever picks this game up, don't expect anything in this article to reflect what will be in the final game.

While I am disappointed with how Perpetual ignored my emails, I do appreciate that they did allow me access. It was a great tour, and they were very inviting and excited about the game. They really did have the best intentions...
