grviper: An understandable reason for the delay could be that the secret was planned to be "pictures of our staff getting drunk with your money". Obviously that takes time.
Or they didn't earn enough money to get properly drunk. Remember that they had a bonus to be unlocked at 50,000 sold bundles, but actually sold less than 7,000. Other, more realistic scenarios include:
- The Steel Storm Soundtrack was the intended secret bonus, but they botched it up and included it in every bundle from the get-go, and they are now frantically looking for a replacement.
- The secret bonus was something they weren't sure they could actually get when the bundle started, that's why it was kept secret. Unfortunately the deal fell through, and they are still searching for a replacement.
- The developer who was supposed to deliver the secret bonus is missing, he doesn't answer any attempts to contact him, and GamersGate doesn't want bad publicity (for themselves and for the devs) and therefore doesn't "blame" him for the delay, they are waiting for the promised content to show up, just as we are.
