This helps publicity for the new Syndicate game to be released on 2-22-12.

EA's marketing scheming knows no bounds. :P

I admit. I looked to see if there was a new game in the works. I am a pawn. A pawn!

A Japanese movie I'd been looking for about a decade ago (Shall We Dance) was only re-released in the US on DVD due to an American remake. When I watched the preview on the DVD for the remake after watching the original I remember thinking "How can they possibly consider THAT as convincing that the remake is worth anything other than avoiding?" I've still successfully avoided observing anything more about the remake, and have watched the original quite a few times. I appreciate the marketers both for helping me obtain something I wanted and clearly showing me how much I didn't want what they were trying to push.

I've paid no attention, then or now, about the new Syndicate game, though. So no clue how apt/extraneous the above comparison might be.

But there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Mike Diskett (recently posted on this board), is creating Satellite Reign, a spiritual successor, via Kickstarter in June. The domain (SatelliteRainDOTcom) currently contains the countdown timer.
