The subject does tend to bring out quite the vicious and, often willfully ignorant streaks in people.
They ignore that CiG has had to build a games studio from scratch, they disregard precedent when commenting about development time, and for some reason, take the whole thing rather personally.
I am quite happy to front up, I have given them a $1000 towards making the game, as I really like the idea, seeing as $1000 is 3 and a bit days pay, and i've spent that over 3 years, its no big deal to me.
I believe wholeheartedly that they are doing their best to make the games, yes they have fucked up along the way, but guess what?
Nobody is going to die, nobody is going to get hurt and the world isnt going to end if the fail.
