Yeah, why fool when they can actually announce!

Especially when a lot of people would have bought the two announced titles.

The Room and Night of the Living Dead sure beat some of the bumph that Arrow have been releasing.

Cannot stand April Fool's Day, especially jokes at the expense of people, rather than with people. Arrow could learn a lot from the likes of Blizzard. Teasing a special announcement days prior only made it worse, and for one of the companies you work with to tease something that's been pretty fervently requested by your fanbase is in poor taste. If there was actually a license announcement, a silver lining, it probably wouldn't have been so bad, but as it stands it feels like Arrow and High Rising mugging their consumers off. I'm surprised they didn't announce The Burning and Halloween III while they were at it.

I'm genuinely tempted to import one of their license announcements from another region out of spite now. I can deal with monochrome, I can live without 3 seconds of boat, but they've gone too far now .

The fake cover for The Room had me in stitches. Hell, I would sure buy it!

Yeah teasing in advance is evil.

I'm still expecting a real announcment to make up for it.

Hopefully the interest in those two titles may prompt Arrow into investigating the logistics of releasing them – if they aren't already – and this could have been a way of seeing the level of interest and whether The Room and Night of the Living Dead would be big sellers.
