I'm sure they're listening. I'm sure they've seen this thread. I just think they like to torture us a bit with their silence on certain topics.
I'm sure they all get together and read threads like this next to a whiteboard that has the next backer beta release date written in big, bold letters. Asking, should we tell them? Should we? Laughing at our pathetic expense.
"Nah. Not yet. I don't think they want it badly enough yet. Let them suffer a while longer."
