Do you think they would choose to send old material if they had newer material at hand? Perhaps it was just a case of websites and magazine choosing to use older images for whatever reason (there have been many articles posted on line post launch that are still using captures from the Roy and Shenhua E3 trailer).While YsNet may not have produced good enough videos, Deep Silver still managed to give out or failed to enforce the usage of new assets when those were available.
When magazine covers still used the Shenhua render from 2017, with a completly different face... It is problematic.
Perhaps Deep Silver could have done a better job of pushing Yu to provide newer material, but ultimately, magazines have deadlines and there’s only so long they can wait. If Yu was dragging his heels, I don’t see what Deep Silver could have done without behaving in a way that might damage the relationship between the two companies. At the very least, I think YSNet are as much responsible for this as Deep Silver.
I agree that this was unprofessional, but do you really think this had a big impact on sales in the grand scheme of things though? Magazine readership, even digital, is way down these days and I’d imagine that just a single trailer provided more exposure than all of the magazine previews combined.
