Questions

[kendo65]

Wondered if the answers were still pending?

Or has Luthier been swamped by the sheer volume and number and decided he has more important things to do?

Or are they being prepared for this Friday?

Or do we have to keep guessing and speculating as to what is going on with this as we have done for the previous 18 months.

Thanks.

They dont work weekends....oh wait....

I didn't realize all the answers would magically be done when they got to work Monday morning. My best guess... they'll have something done this week and post it as the Friday update.

Hope so Chivas. Would be nice to get confirmation...of something...anything...?

Friday update coming? Oh that's great. Can't wait to download the new patch for this awesome sim.

I agree, but I really don't think they knew what was going to happen, and what they could say about it. I know if I worked for the development that took this long to produce a revenue stream, I would be surprised everyday I showed up to work that the development wasn't shut down. I'm sure many people have, but I certainly wouldn't want to work every day under that kind of pressure .
That said I think the development has turned a corner with the stability patch, and seem to have some assurances of financial support atleast until the Sequel's release. Hence the appearance of Luthier.

You guys talking about how they don't work weekends forgot about this quote, yeah?

Pretty standard for 1C lately. Over-promise, under-deliver.

Do we have to wait months for the answers like we're still waiting for the freaking README?

I really would have thought that the result of Luthier offering to answer questions after not being around for a few months would have been predictable.

That's not to underestimate the amount of time needed to wade through those 15 or whatever pages and write up answers...but that then leads to 'what could they say about it?', and that's simple really - "sorry guys, this is going to take a little time. We'll get back to you next week".

It's really a matter of common courtesy and common sense on this one.

I'm almost (but not quite ) past caring to be honest, but it's just really crap public relations. They just never seem to learn.

I keep trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and hold in there, but they keep pointing that shotgun at their own feet and pulling the trigger.

Also, I'm not looking for apologies or whinging about paying £50 for the collector's edition or threatening not to buy the sequel (who am I kidding?) - I would just like them - for once - to do what they say they are going to do dammit! Especially on something that Luthier set up himself without any need or prompting from anyone else!!!!!

And yes, I have had a few 'ales'

To be fair there were a lot of questions, we could of helped Luthier by asking the question and then giving a multi choice answer. Something like this:

Question: Will SLI ever work?

1. Maybe No
2. Maybe Yes
3. Maybe not now but maybe not in BOM
4. It is our highest and lowest priority
5. Brown

Agree. It makes it seem like they don't care whether or not they deliver a quality product. They just want to string you along and promise that if you pay another 60 bucks it'll be fixed in the sequel.
