I can only speak for me. They have provided me with adequate communication. They're working on a patch, and they're working on a sequel. I thought the video of player controlled ground vehicles looked pretty cool.

I have no idea how much hand holding you were hoping to get.

Anyway, I'm waiting the list of the banned guys. Because you know:

11. False Information - Dissemination of false information regardless of the poster's awareness.

Don't worry I'm going to report you if you'll not provide it. ;-)

I have no idea what you are talking about.

poets, writers, movie makers, artists/ illustrators, actors, set designers, etc, etc, etc - not bean counting number crunchers, but as real people, is the way to go in receiving good response.

For anyone out there... you go and put up your pride and joy and offer that for critiscism (of the such seen here) and how would you feel?

(I can tell you right now how you would feel ;) )

My customers praise and criticize, according to the quality of my services (which involve a certain degree of creativity ...). I feel like a supplier all the time, in both cases.

Nice insult, you're real mature.

Can it be that they act as adult because they are treated in a fair way?


Maybe they get treated in a fair way, because they act as adults.

I do not need a forum since I (and my employees) communicate with my customers directly via phone, fax, emails, letters or personal meetings.

Forums are a great feature for a company to provide communication with a very large number of customers. I don't expect Luthier to give me a phone call explaining in detail CloD development to me (it would be nice, though :grin:), but I expect a somewhat professional communication via the only means available to me, that is: the forum.

I feel almost silly that I obviously have to point out that honest and regular communication with the customers is the very foundation of a successful business.

You know, I totally hate telling my customers bad news. Often the problem is not even my personal fault. And yet I'm the one receiving the flak. And guess what? They are my customers, they pay my bills, it's their damn right to get cranky when stuff goes wrong and it's my responsibility to deal with them.

@wolf-rider: it doesn't matter if they're artists or not, the fact is that they are running a business and should conduct themselves accordingly.

Plus, if you're a professional artist and you can't handle extremely negative criticism from just about anyone, you will not be a professional for very long.

I agree 100% with you. It looks that someone doesn't understand the ABC of business, or has a very low level of expectations from their suppliers.
