So I posted this complaint to the Trackmania section of Ubi's support, considering they do not yet have a TM2 section:
Excuse me, but what's the deal about getting the short shrift, Ubi? Do -not- go the way of EA and the promise X, but give us Y if we're lucky, and more likely nothing at all. Trackmania 2 is going to be the best racing game on the market, and you are lucky to have them under your wing. Treat them right. I hope this mysterious disappearance of the promised interview is not a sign of things to come, Ubi. If it is, you'll soon find your revenue disappearing as checks get addressed directly to Florent, not to you. We, as gamers, want to support you. But you have to then, do the only logical thing and support us back.
Expecting to get some sort of response, I was hopeful. The response was quick--less than 24h turnaround time. However, this was the response:

No mention of TM2, the interview, or anything. Just robomail.

If Ubi reads this, they have just lost my money. I am supporting TM2, but if it is at -all- possible, I'm making my check directly payable to Florent and hoping he sends me Canyon. Ubi isn't getting one red cent of my money.
