No offense Mercury but you've been saying that for months. We get it.
None taken, Frogboy.
And yes, I had the feeling that my criticism was seen as if it's in the spirit of the above post.
It wasn't. I suggested postponing release date in Beta. I wrote in an early email that I have no intentions of asking for refund whatever happens, out of respect for GPG. And after the release I said my opinion but also said I have patience, that repairs will take long, so ease off on all-nighters in the office. And of course, I kept trying to play the game occasionally and reported occasional success.
But life has dynamics. Maybe if I hadn't gone on a trip I would stick with it longer.
Actually, I'm not sure I would have done things differently in your shoes. Maybe postponing release date would have been more harmful financially than the way things turned out. Maybe the under-estimate of connectivity problems and significance of other bugs was reasonable. It doesn't seem so to me ; I think the reports from beta testers were not addressed sufficiently. But I am not working in the Stardock building and my decisions are not loaded with responsibility for Stardock or GPG jobs, and more importantly, I don't have the whole picture.
I don't like the words 'disappointment' or 'too bad' etc, so I won't use them
things happen. Just do your best.
Cheers !
