August 7, 1990
Latricia’s resigned as director of marketing. I learned this at lunch today with her and Sophie. The instant she said it, I felt a sudden flow of good will toward her for whom my heart had hitherto held only hatred, and for the rest of the lunch I was cheerful and charming.
It’s true her departure will leave a void in marketing that will probably mean that nothing gets done for the next six months; but still, better incompetence than malevolence.
A two-page spread on Prince in PC Computer Gamer’s Strategy Magazine. Sophie and I read it together. It was a rave. It was also one of the most thoughtful reviews I’d read. It was clear the writer had played the game all the way through. He appreciated the things most reviewers tend to overlook in favor of the great graphics. Maybe this will inspire Sophie to do some marketing.
