... just pointing out that there all alot of other game developers out there whom do far worse, where they spend more time doing the smallest tweek to a game and little emphasis on storyline . . .

Yeah like those guys that worked on Duke Nukem forever.

Well, to be fair, PGI is neither as greedy and monolithic as EA (which has one set of problems,) nor as insane and incompetent as, say, Zynga or Cerberus with their Sword of the Stars 2 debacle.

Had PGI not somehow bartered away their credibility with constant promises they could not - or in some cases seemingly never intended to - keep, I think some honest delays would be more forgivable.

We keep hearing "big things next patch" or whatever and deadlines keep sliding and new features keep sliding and CW keeps sliding and... yeah.

I has a sad.

No you don't, and I'd like to see a post that says anything along the lines of "big things next patch" except when describing things that are in the next patch\

In fact none of what you said has any bearing on reality at all and you do indeed live in a mythological fairy planet of your own creation

Your quote of Wikipedia just reinforces my statement

You've got to read past the first paragraph. If you can't see how PGI posting a repost of content that was posted 6, and even 12 months ago as being 'meta', then any further explanation would be lost on you.

P.S. I said meta and pro, not that they are synonymous or mutually exclusive, which is what I think you are accusing me of.

My comment was basically the result of the exact feeling that's been described in the thread already seeing that shiny new announcement in the place of the October CDU and opening it to reveal that its a repost of last weeks thread. At this point we're all eager to get information about how the grander scheme of things is going to work and to know how development is progressing so its only natural that people get upset when expectations aren't fulfilled.

Being upset is one thing. How some people behave as a result is something else entirely. One doesn't make the other ok.

No, it doesn't. Choosing to stay in a situation that infuriates you doesn't excuse poor behavior.

Put your e-peen away. It means nothing anywhere but in your own head.

Now's the time to strike,... if you're into that sort of thing, of course.

In all those posts from ages ago that you dug up, the only thing that they proposed a date for is UI 2.0

so, I'll give you that one I guess

mostly you're just on the rock though

I'm seeing lots of dates. In fact the dates are all months, no days have been specified. You would have a point if they released the achievements march 31st of this year vs march 1st, however they have not. We are talking 6 months to a year past their vague monthly dates. If you purchased a new Iphone and they said that the ability to play games would be implemented in a month, and 6 months goes by, would you consider that a missed deadline?

[cSand]

Don't make me post Dwayne again


An iPhone costs you 500$, so yes, I would expect instant action for a physical piece of hardware that I paid half a G for. If, that is, I joined you guys in your rock habits

In a free to play game that is being constantly developed, there is no finished product per se,

So basically I just enjoy playing the game

So i was reading the forum while at work (i work with kids) and one of my students wants to read this post. He asked what it was about, so i let him read it himself without saying anything about the post. He read the link as well as the first 2 pages. He turned to me and said "This guy is really bad at communication." So i asked him why. The kid said "well, he doesn't reply, and he doesn't say anything important". The kid is under 10, well under 10. So i told him "well i think you summed up PGI in a nutshell!"

Oh by the way, i work with severely low functioning autistic kids.
