we all want the product we are paying for, but it seems to me the main goal of the dissatisfied voices is to ruin Luthier and prevent him from ever making the products ever again.

For me bongo, it is very disappointing that most of his promises once made, are totally ignored by him. I love llya but he seems to have a flaw in that area, crap happens and so you then let the people know the why

[bongodriver]

But he doesn't really make promises, he simply lays out an intended timeline and everyone else turns it into a promise, it's like this weird pre-programmed attitude people have to him, it's not even Luthier that screwed us all over regarding Clod, 1C are to blame for that one, Luthier was simply the lead developer taking his orders from the money men, Team Fusion are proving just how wrong everyone was about Clod, all it needed was time, but time is money and 1C want to make buckets of it for very little investment, now they just slap the il2 label on someone elses recycled products and get them made quick.

That's a shame. I guess few would be too surprised though, but it do feel sorry for the big supporters as it would have been really exciting for them.

On the last dev update it shows evidence that the pledge rewards are being integrated into a database of backers to be merged with profiles at ED's shop site, not quite a failure to keep promises but in true Luthier fashion a change of expected direction with a long silent delay, to make Christmas presents on the back of a Kickstarter project is really not the brightest idea I've heard.
seems to me that the backer rewards will turn up eventually and so will the final product, all we have to be is patient.

it doesn't you are correct, if the Skype issue is causing heartache and deep emotional stress then all I can offer is my deepest sympathy, I am eligible for the Skype time too but can only imagine what it must be like for those of us who need this desperately, ultimately for me the end product is all I am waiting for, a bit of alpha access is a bonus when it comes.

I went to KS for a look see and happily I need to back track on the Skype issue. According to the due date for that particular part of the reward, it seems to be Sept. 2014...so never mind and my apologies

[SlipBall]

Hold it not so fast...my logic is flawed, Skype was promised(donor just pointed this out to me) for the development stage, Sept. 2014 is the hoped for release date of the game. So the Skype guys should be upset right now!
