Hi Carnage. You said it yourself 1.0 was a shitstorm and by that time, I had been gone 6 months. They had 2 years and more to fix the game, and the steamchart speaks for itself. The game got far, far worse after I left and today, they have no devs left and are on the verge of closure. The old management and The9 simply thought they knew better, and they didn't. The facts are quite plain.
But no words are going to convince you. That's why we broke it up into mini-milestones, so the community could judge for itself with minimal risk. How about the fact that in 35 days we've gone from a petition about "would you like to do this" to a 600% funded goal, a website, forums and all key concept art being delivered. Yes, we're almost done with all the art and are ready to start our next milestone. Judge us on our work, what we promise, and what we deliver. So far, we are over delivering.
As this thread will probably devolve into a flame war, it will eventually be moved to the gripes section. For now we'll keep it here for the next day or so.
