A message to everyone-this is Rad's journal so lets not get too sidetracked with off-topics. I'd like to clear some things up real quick about 5g as I had a discussion with Shannon this morning about it and it'll give some additional perspective from a business-partner point of view.
From my personal experience of having worked with Shannon for years, and personally having seen how much work he put into 3g, followed by 4g, followed by complex sets, and now 5g, you need to understand something very important. For him, creating 5g is like making a real-life statue with a chisel. The amount of time and concentration that he puts into this is nothing short of ASTOUNDING. We can't just ask him to make 5g titles, and he won't be making single titles any time soon, with the possible exception of releasing the accountability sub if it shows success. The only reason he made the accountability sub in 5g was as a personal favor as both KeelS and I are close friends of his and he needed additional feedback on 5g. We we're initially not even going to ever mention to anyone that it was 5g, but it looks like Shannon has changed his mind. If and/or/when he releases 5g single-stage titles, they will be reflected with the price tag because making a 5g title can take similar time as a full-stages set in 4g.
So 1st, keep in mind the colossal time and energy commitment it takes Shannon to make anything at all in 5g.
2nd, realize that the price must reflect the time he has put into making them. Expect single stage titles to cost a LOT. Expect 4g versions of the same titles to still be sold alongside 5g (if and when he starts making single-stage 5g's) because there will be a big big price difference.
KeelS, as you can see from Shannon's post, was under the impression the accountability sub would be released or was released. This is not the case. KeelS is a personal friend of Shannon and I, and is using a certain revision of 5g, and as Shannon said probably won't be the final format. In the case of the accountability sub-it was the undertaking of creating the ultimate "do it yourself" and "live your life by design" type of subliminal. He seems to be making good progress but we need to see how his and others' results go before talking any kind of release.
If you have anything to say in response, please just PM me let's keep this thread to Rad. Thank you!
