However, it is just that a game. Yes OOTP are a business and they are professionals and they are looking to make money out of the game. I am disappointed though at the lack of compassion, empathy or sympathy being shown towards someone who has worked very hard on this game so far. The game may not be where everyone wants it to be but you can see the hard work that has gone into it over the last couple of years. The game has after all been created from scratch.
We as humans are not robots and things that effect our personal lives do have an effect on how we can do our jobs at times. I don't know if I have been lucky with the companies I have worked for or the manager's I have had, but when I have been struggling with issues I have always been allowed the time and space to do my job without additional pressure. The companies I have worked for have users that need the systems we develop and not having those systems in place cost these companies money.
I want the game to be the best it can be but I will not condone or support people who want to heap pressure on to someone who may have some personal issues going on in the background and at the same time is still working hard to deliver the product we all want. If you can't find it somewhere in yourself to support the team at this time and think a game is more important than someone's happiness or well being then you should be ashamed of yourself.

Couldn't agree more.
There seem to be a small number of people who think they can just go ahead and hire another coder to cover for Sebastian. Clearly that's an unreasonable expectation - this is a small dev team and not some massive company like Microsoft.
