Mike Greco just confirmed on Facebook that it won't be released today.
He has a very strange perception of what "early next week" means, then.
Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if Firefly was still scrambling to get everything finalized for the lineup announcement. Organization isn't one of their strengths.
That "Are we there yet?" post is obnoxious. Considering this time last year we'd had the lineup for two weeks, I don't see why they're acting as if people are being overbearing when all we have is speculation at this point. They've told us nothing except "soon".

kinda reminds me of hangout lineup day. woke up at 8am waiting.....break away from computer for lunch to get wings... eat said wings.... wait... lineup finally comes out at 6pm... cry. why did i take the day off work>?
All i want is a date. I dont get why they cant at least just tell us that much
I'm sure there's some problem they're scrambling to fix. They are truly the most disorganized group of people. They probably thought they'd have it out by now. I'm imagining a pretty chaotic scene at Red Frog headquarters. On the other hand, their offices include (among other diversions) foosball tables, a slide, a zipline, a rock climbing wall, and swings. I don't know how they get any work done at all.
If it's not coming out today why the hell are they responding to every comment on their Facebook making it seem like it is?
God their marketing team is just brutal.
Agreed about their marketing people (the "day of exciting announcements" fiasco says it all). And Mike G's Facebook posts are not helping.
But, I don't take their Facebook posts that way. Firefly has never said it would be today.
All Firefly keeps saying, over and over, is "soon" or "stay tuned". They've been saying that all month. The most specific thing they've said is that it would be this week.
Mike G did say "early" this week, but he doesn't work at the corporate office and clearly doesn't have all the info. And again, I highly doubt that the lineup is even finished yet.

idk what's worse, the fact that FF's ambiguity is masquerading as hype or that Mike Greco is allowed to overestimate his importance when in reality he's just a gigantic douchebag.

They responded to someone who said they've been refreshing social media all day waiting for a lineup, and Firefly said "keep your eyes peeled to the Facebook page!" or something like that.
Why the hell would they tell someone who has been refreshing and waiting for the lineup all day (like many of us on here) to continue to do that if it's not coming today?
It's infuriating to me that Greco would make fun of people for asking when the lineup is released, especially because he said that it would be released "early" this week. He really needs to stop with this "I know something you don't know" attitude. It's childish and unprofessional.

I'm fine with the fact that we'll know by Friday. I'm sure I'm not the only one on the boat where waiting an extra day isn't gonna deter us from buying a ticket. Is PR being a giant dick? Perhaps, but I'm fine with the fact that we know it WILL be out this week. Plus, who's to say it won't be out earlier in the evening?

Pretty sure he's just a street teamer with little to no inside skinny. Firefly even sort of put him in his place in their most recent message, calling him a "friend"...
