This was pretty ham handed... Hopefully there is something else to put some context to this.

I seriously hope that this is a mistake...If this is the last news we get until 2014, I will be very disappointed. I like that they're making the Command Chair posts more visible, but this is still sad.

Edit: This makes it even more pathetic...

Ouch. Double explosions.



But since you're here, why not check out Lordred's Perfect Screenshot thread for the latest additions of awesomeness?

Quickly, for if you stay here staring at the sun it will kill you!

Could you double post the October Creative Director Update too? I haven't seen it enough yet.

A positive note: people are still excited when they see stuff on the forums from the Developers. All hope is not lost.

Always better than having new info 100% only on a social network like twitter or Facebook...but a front page link for old news...

first i was like:Holy **** new update !
and then i was like:Oh wtf is that?

[Appogee]

I hope I'm misinterpreting, but I think it's to avoid having to write anything new til next year.

Rightly or wrongly, the stench of abject apathy is palpable... and in keeping with the glacial pace of development this year.

Had that link been posted... say last week, more people would've been interested instead of being massively disappointed.

And the point of this repeat post was...?

He was "working" from home and blacked out shortly after posting it, so he did it again the next day just to be sure.

[HammerSwarm]

*Sigh* I got excited I tried the link 3 times seeing the target and the destination were different hoping that it was more than it was. Then it sunk in. They're reposting the Dec 2 update a week later. Nothing new. Except that it's now the last update until january meaning all the terrible communications are on pause for 3 weeks.

It's not a Creative Director update. This was done by Paul. Those are done by Bryan.

Just because you project "dissatisfaction and unhappiness as the foundation of reasoning processes" on others, doesn't make it true. White-knighting doesn't accomplish anything, with this company, other than make them think they're doing great and that people who criticize their stupid choices are "on an island". Like their misguided egos needed more stroking than NGNG provides...

This "announcement" is disingenuous, and to claim otherwise is very naive.


All systems nominal... of course.

Accusing me of psychological projection doesn't make your allegation true either. You're going to have to do better than "no, YOU!" if you're going to answer criticism effectively. Nor does trying to claim that Bryan normally posting a certain topic requires that the topic always be posted by him make your shoddy reasoning any more credible. Nor does dismissing any criticism as "white-knighting" prove anything but that your reasoning process is... embarrassing.

Objecting to irrational criticism (which you call "white-knighting,") is bad because it will make "this company" think it's "doing great" when really it's making stupid choices? I don't even know where to start with the irrationality of this reasoning. You disagree with various decisions, so they are stupid. "This company" is run by a bunch of "misguided egos," in your opinion, who think that criticisms like this are the product of an irrational minority. So challenging your opinions about the company and its development team is a priori bad - because of your opinions about the company and its development team.

This self-referential crazy-land you live in might stroke your ego, but you're going to have to resort to more than appeals to your own authority and name-calling if you want to sway those of us who are sane. Slander is not a valid substitute for facts, or an acceptable means of advancing your views.

As our Front-page news updates are tied to the Announcements sub-forum, a repost was necessary to ensure this Command Chair update appeared on the main-page. This is an issue we hope to address in future web updates, and we apologize for any inconvenience this post may have caused for those who have already read this update.

Ok, that makes more sense. Thank you for the context.
