Your arm-chairing is adorable! Such a pessimistic cloud hangs over you, and not even an objective one. Just a blanket of alienation and assumptions that paint you in a pretty ugly, yet oddly cute, light. You may want to see a doctor if you're actually hurt by the fluidity of release dates or the existence of bugs in the programs you use, that sounds like an interesting new disorder and it might need to be studied clinically for future generations!
I'll never understand the position of gamers who suppose to understand the inner workings of development and universally apply it. Especially when those suppositions always revolve around deception and incompetence, something that apparently exists within every single development process! It couldn't just be an symptom of programming, no! It's the evil of the creators, withholding from the users and doing everything in their power to inconvenience the innocent little gamer underclass. All they want is content, but all they'll ever be is victim to tyranny! The vanity is staggering, and really depressing.
Hi,
Sorry I'm not english speaker, so my rhetoric won't be so shinny. I'm not as self righteous as you anyway...
Maybe my reaction for the delay of this product is too much, I won't argue on that; it just called my attention the fact that everyone was so pleased and understanding on that announcement 1 week before release date, without going much further into details. Where I come from, if I don't handle what it's expected of me on time, I'll be whipped. Hard. And there are usually consequences. Providing inabarcable deployment dates is, now and always, a project manager's fault. Objectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_and_incremental_development
But hey, I'll just go to my boss and tell him "Hi! you won't get it until next month, you know, s*** happens!". After that I'd definetly have to visit doctor.
Not my intention to troll here whatsoever, just a light scolding; all I really wish is that they come out with something I can spend my money gladly on, while sticking to their own schedule.
Kind regards.
