YoYo Games have hired a Chief Technical Officer in Dundee and will be making an announcement “indirectly” related to Game Maker for PSP tomorrow.
Yesterday’s downtime which affected all YoYo Games services including the Game Maker Community was caused by “simple maintenance” which went wrong following a firewall conflict. Around 30 minutes of downtime was followed by a period where games on the main YoYo Games were without screenshots.

If they’re going to be doing this tomorrow, why not tell us tomorrow?
Because no doubt you would then complain that it took us 24 hours too long to announce that the CTO had been hired.

The post also includes information about the recent downtime.
I can think of so many analogies that contradict Frederick’s questioning that I can’t decide which one to write…
Also, if you were going to be a dipshit today, why didn’t you tell us yesterday? Surely you knew.
Philip, that’s plain ignorance…
