This goes back to the old phrase " You can't please everyone". People need to understand the "s$!& happens". I'm not in the "game" but geez, I can surely put myself in that place. I had several good discussions with Gary McBride when first starting to run WotW, and he was a very nice man, and very enthusiastic and helpful with his comments and suggestions.
Sometimes you need a little break to catch your breath, deal with loved ones etc....I think 90% of the gaming community would understand this. But, there are always the people who say " I paid for it, stick to the schedule" . I understand that they are there. In a smaller way, I deal with that too. I'm in the hospitality industry, managing bars and restaurants. People want what they want...I merely suggest that you cannot make everyone happy, so do the best to communicate what is going on, then if people cannot accept that things are a little late, oh well..you tried. By communicating you let people know you still care, but s+%@ came up. Just dropping out make people worry, speculate, start rumors etc....That was what I wanted to avoid with this post. I was hoping someone knew what was happening, or Gary or his partner would respond to squash the rumors. I saw a lot of them while searching for an update on the project and future endeavors.
To all the developers and publishers out there, for every one person who b@%$#es and complains, remember there are hundreds of others who appreciate your hard work and ideas to make our gaming time, which for most of us is a diversion from the stresses of everyday s+$&, more enjoyable...
