@NoelVeiga: I've worked for several large corporations as well and the idea of "it's been two months and things are barely off the ground so far" is cringe inducing. I can't imagine working in a place where things just don't get done and the blame is shifted on "email strings" and how things must take a long time because it's a big company. Things take a long time when you let them take a long time. There are tons of ways to expedite processes. I guess we just worked for different corporations.
Dude, two weeks from the move every other video included dragging someone out of a meeting, people were joking about having to spend time in training and HR stuff which, if you're being treated as a new hire, can take days at a time in any law-abiding corporation. They have to buy new stuff and make modifications to the building. I don't know which magical corporation you've worked for, but in all of the ones I've known shit like that requires budgeting and approvals, not to mention negotiations or just simply figuring out what you need, which is no easy task if you're plopped into an already running office where what you need may already be there in some way but you don't even know where.
I find it ridiculous that with the level of access these guys give their audience anybody who has worked for anything even close to the size of CBS would find a couple of months to go from being purchased to building a whole studio and acquiring material, all the while *continuing to output hours of content every week* to be "lazy".
Let me put it this way: had they completely shut down, no podcast, no videos, no news, no coverage, then yeah, maybe I'd see them being done by now to be a realistic target. As it is, with the current output, the run-up to E3, their own admission that they'd like to have been able to get things rolling a bit faster and the fact that one of them has actually reproduced in the interim? I honestly think you're being a bit of a dick.
