Tell that BS face to face to your customers, and you will see how long you can survive in business.
But in a certain way you are right about the "artist approach". I would call it "technological excellence", i.e. people buy your wonderful creations despite your bad temper or poor customer service. But I'm afraid it's not yet the case for CloD.

Cheers,
Ins

Regardless of these facts, they are a business. They are businessmen because of this. They are accountable. Citing bad people skills as an excuse just won't cut it.

You've got it wrong, on all points, sorry to say... except for bad people skills from some forum members, and that's what they're reacting to

wellll... that is what is being demanded from the developers by a vocal few here, each and every Friday. WHile things are being worked on, sorted out and run through the mill , that is all that is likely to be forthcoming... "Yes, we're working on the patch"

What do people want? A line by line hand holding excercise, each time a key is tapped??

We don't even tell them that much. We assume that they're bright enough to understand that we are constantly working on updating our software.

Oh ok, since you said so...

Pro tip: evidence and specificity are key when proving a point.

So please be kind and help the developers to deal also with the others like us that are not clever enough...

So, David, now that we are at 7 pages of this very constructive discussion and you , who considers himself as a respectful adult, are already in the " personnal negative comments zone" if I put it nicely, I ask you again my initial question : is the forum better off now ?

It's not personally negative at all. Some people just need to have someone hold their hand.

No, thanks to pointless threads about whether the forum is better, it's not.

If that's all the news there is, so be it.

We would like to hear it.

And if any more insight can be provided, such as more details of what they are working on, that is of interest.

The very angry and dissatisfied will not be happy with that, but most people who have bought the game and are waiting for improvements will appreciate that small amount of communication.

You actually need me to provide evidence that game companies have art departments? And evidence that 1C is actually a business?

What are you talking about? You can't honestly believe that either of those points are not true.

If you would be more specific in your accusations (I.e. not saying that everything I said is wrong when clearly that's not the case) then ill be more specific in my proof.
