I'm actually fed up with the lack of release date info.
Is this game like the ordinary dross we're fed? No it isn't. It's so far beyond the mundane FPS junk that's rattled out, it's not worth trying to compare them.
Are we lucky to have the updates we get? Yes, very lucky. It's amazing that Oleg listens to us at all, and we are privileged.
Are we lucky that Oleg is making this game in the first place? Yes, very lucky. He’s a fan like us, and capable of producing something far better than anyone else.
Is Oleg in a position to give an accurate release date? I doubt it. You don’t know how long it takes to fix bugs, and whether fixing them will create new bugs.
But…
Does Oleg have a better idea of when this will be released than us? Of course. Now I don’t blame Oleg for the decision to keep us in the dark, I don’t know what he’s agreed with publishers, but someone should be giving us some more details. Like where they’re currently at, and general time frames, which won’t be set in stone. Then if there’s a set-back, simply tell us. It’s the lack of any information that’s irritating. It’s not that we’re all impatient children, but we have to spend serious money on PC upgrades, and an idea of whether it’s wise to make these upgrades would be helpful. We aren’t all in the position to just wait before upgrading, some of us have old machines that are desperate for an upgrade. Should we upgrade (inc new OS) but use our old graphics cards for a few months, as the game is still a long way from being finished? I don’t see the harm in the developer giving us a little more info.
