No it is not. It's nobodies job to be understanding in this relationship. It's PGI's job to make money. It's not our job to give them money.
I never said it WAS our job to give them money. If you don't want to support the game, which I see from your later post that you have, anyway, then you don't have to. If you want a better product, then quit crying about what you don't have, now, or ****.

This is the nature of the Buyer - Seller relationship.
Copout. They're still every bit as Human as you are. Do you want them to reserve the right to refuse service to you? That's also the nature of the buyer-seller relationship. Just go away.

You seem to believe that there is some friend - friend relationship obligation here, but there isn't. This is just business.
I don't believe there's a friend-friend relationship, I believe there's a Human-Human relationship. God, it's no wonder we don't get any information from them.

It's not about 'Promises', it's about doing business.
That's not what you said in your previous post.

They created demand and raised expectations by announcing future features and tagging those features with a projected release date.
being the operative phrase, here. Projected means 'this is when, barring any problems, we would really like to have this out for your guys.' Apparently, they keep running into problems, which they are solving one-by-one.

Again, you aren't dealing with your good buddy who promises to pay you back next week, you are dealing with a corporation.
I understand that, but you seem to be forgetting what makes up a corporation. I've said it before, and I'll say it, again, if you can do better, if you can build a game better than this, get to it. If you can make it better than this one, I'll give YOU all my money. Somehow, I seriously doubt you could stand up to all the bloody negativity you'll have to put up with, and will not even get a good start on anything before you quit.

The onus is on PGI, not the customer. There is demand for a good Mech game, but if PGI markets a product that they can't deliver it's not the customers obligation to buy that product.
You're absolutely right; happy trails! I didn't say it's the customers responsibility to support a Free-to-Play game they don't like; what I am saying is that if the customer believes in the future of the game, and is willing to support it, then it's their responsibility to be understanding.

Kay, when you get older you'll understand why this statement above is 'pretty far out there.'
Mahucka, I'm 42! I understand exactly what I said to you. I have to wonder if you actually understand what the buyer-seller relationship actually should be. Do you order a birthday cake from a local shop, then when you go to see it you berate and curse the store owner because they got a letter wrong? No, you wouldn't. But, you seem to think you have this untouchable persona while online, like so many other people, and you can do no wrong with your foul language, the improper verbiage you use, and how you treat others. When you go to Wal-Mart, and you can't find what you need, do you find a sales associate and tell them you're never going to shop there, again, because they don't have what you're trying to buy? No, you find a sales associate and ask if you somehow missed the product you need, and if you didn't, if they have any in stock, or if there's some way it could be ordered. If people would act online with decency and respect, the way they generally act in real life, a lot more would be done by the corporation/seller for us consumers. That means you are the one that does not understand, is not mature enough to handle, what's going on with the game.

It's like yelling to a car buyer "If you don't like that your Toyota accelerates on it's own when you are trying to stop it you should just learn how to code your own Engine Control Module Software!"
Touche. The difference between that example and this is that you're not going to die or be heavily injured if the code of this game doesn't work properly.

In the end if there are people taking exception to PGI missing deliverable dates it is entirely the expected response. There really isn't a need to get upset with them about it. It's what customers do.
Yeah, if we get sick and tired of hearing it, we should get upset and tell them to shut their pie holes. It's not something that customers do apart from their computers, and if they do, they really should have been raised better, and/or learn to grow some manners.
