I'm sure that's true. It is really unfortunate and sad that it has got to this stage. Unfortunately, it seems that they are unable to get the community onside for any length of time.

Getting BlackSix in to liaise with us was a great idea, but to make it work Luthier has to be prepared to release information for him to supply to us. To put BlackSix in place to 'communicate' with us and then not give him the authority to tell us anything is monumentally self-defeating.

Maybe it's a Russian thing? I don't know. Information about the patch has been guarded as if it was highly important state secrets. It's not the delay in releasing the patch that is annoying people, it's the absence of ANY meaningful information. People can put up with being stone-walled for so long, but eventually they start to get annoyed. That unfortunately is what has happened here.

And why can they not give some measured info? I mean, really?!?! They keep creating needless crises through sheer stubbornness it seems. (I'm well aware that there are people on the forums who could try the patience of a saint, but the devs stubbornness is pushing many of us in the centre-ground in the same direction)

Agreed. Fingers crossed it does the job.
