I keep see people making references to 'the movie' Or having the game released to coincide with the release of the movie. Or something about free advertising, having the game released near the movie release,.... I'm cornfused! Heck! I didn't even know they were making a PotBS movie!

And if they mean PotC. How does PotBS get free advertising from PotC??

I'm confused too.

Show me one of these people making references - post a link.

No-one has discussed this topic in ages AFAIK and when they did the context was clear.

FLS & POTBS Community,
 I remember when I got a warning for posting, "the pink elephant in the room is SOE” in the POTBS beta forum.
When FLS announced the partnership with SOE, everyone in BETA was really angry. The outcry was so loud that Mr. Rusty has to make a statement on this subject...
Cute's Top 5 assumptions regarding FLS and SOE backdoor deal that killed POTBS:
5- "Release soon, so it won't compete with other next gen MMO, such as Pirate of the Caribbean Online"
4-"Release this game within the time frame of the movie, while hype is still hot"
3-"We (SOE) are the world leader for MMO business, just look at SWG and Vanguard"
2-"SOE will enable FLS to focus on the creativity and maintaining the game, while SOE will enable FLS to get rich in Marketing, advertisement, promotion and subscription"
1-"Because we are Sony Online Entertainment (SOE)... we got great PowerPoint presentation, oh by the way, we own SWG and Vanguard...so FLS, you can be rich too... what ya say??" [Little giggle in the boardroom]

Well yes - they were talking PotC Movie.

And yes, of course PotBS would benefit from this.

In the same way we always see new Tim Allen Christmas movies being released at Christmas and how a Star Trek MMO would benefit if a Star Trek movie was released about the same time.
