I get that there are those who want to passionately defend this product with the vision that by doing so you are encouraging OOTP to continue and improve it's development.
However ... when you ridicule or minimize those of us who are fed up with the lack of communication and the poor state of development, you fail to recognize just how many people have already been turned off by this product.
Witness how quiet these forums are lately? There are people who were very active who have not posted in weeks. There are those who tried this product, found it lacking and will never return again. The easiest form of damage control is communication ... something that has been lacking since launch.
I personally also find it tiresome that people are willing to accept poor execution from software companies ... that it is accepted that products will be launched broken and patched until fixed. What other industry does this? Does the music industry release an album where the vocals are missing or distorted and say "oh it'll be fixed in a future patch". No, because if they did that ... their reputation and sales would suffer. Yet in the software industry we're expected to accept that the product we purchase may not be working as advertised, finished or complete.
