Henry, the only person here talking of "demands" and "perfection" is you.

Excuse me? We can't expect Markus to make OOTP6 into what it's supposed to be? Since when?

Henry, I don't "believe" that some of them were ignored and have been ignored; I KNOW they have. How? Because I reported them myself in previous versions.

Funny, my wife does that all the time when she's programming.

Oh, Henry, PLEASE stop trying to put words in our mouths. We want the broken things in OOTP6 fixed, and the missing things in OOTP6 added.

Let me repeat: we want the broken things in OOTP6 fixed, and the missing things in OOTP6 added. This will not equal perfection by a long shot.

Yes, and you should try it. The subject is the problems of OOTP6 and getting them fixed, not the politics of getting them fixed.

Didn't you just say this wasn't personal? Then try sticking to that. This ISN'T personal, and by trying to blame me personally for a groundswell of opinion that you don't like is making it personal in a new and different way. Look around, Henry, a LOT of people want OOTP6 to be fixed.

Crap and nonsense, Henry. Ignoring OOTP6's problems sets OOTPD up to fail. Fixing the problems can only set OOTPD up to SUCCEED.

Henry, a lot of us here have been trying and trying to get Markus to do the right thing here. It looks like we succeeded. And, it pains me to say it, but what's wrong here is people defending the buggy, feature-missing status quo and attacking those who want an improved and better game.
