I agree with the lets lay off Malte, Seb and Jeff sentiment. I have said that I think the game they released has left them open to criticism. People should be able to voice those opinions without them being insulted or attacked by those who think the game is great. I think even those that think the game is great would admit there are flaws in the game engine. I think everyone here has bought into the potential of the game and still do but would like to see improvement in the current game as it is.

What I would then challenge the OOTP team to do to end some of the criticism is to be more open. The message about the new 'fun patch' again didn't actually tell the users anything. Tell us what the three or four things that you are working on are. If they don't work out then delay the patch and tell people that.

I know someone that got a PM from a OOTP dev team member today offering to work things out their opinions/differences. This person replied and as I spoke to him just after 8pm tonight he hadn't received a response (poor communication as always). He was also offered a refund. You can't just buy people off when they say something you don't like. Involve them don't alienate them. They are your customers and probable buyers of the next game when it comes out. Take the criticism on board, listen to comments and communicate better.
