SI: Yeah, maybe we should have had one, we will consider it next year.
Wolf: Too late!! It should have happened last year.



What do you want them to say? Or do you post just to fire up the masses?

Well said.

Thinking isn't doing, until they commit, the complaints will continue (at least I hope). They can't go back in time folks, but some clear "this isn't going to happen again and we are doing X to make sure of it" would be greatly appreciated right about now...

We're sorry that the product has disappointed you, and we'll keep working to make it better!

The new patch has introduced a crash that for me really stops the game, literally and figuratively. I've posted it in the tech forum, so I feel compelled to stick around long enough to see if the issue is patch-related or Twelvefield-related. I did spend 2 weeks away from OOTPB -- I played a lot of poker and Cataan. I'd like to come back into the OOTPB fold, but it looks like now is not the time.

Thanks for the apology, Battists, it wasn't necessary, but it did make me feel a little better. I know a lot of hard work went into OOTPB, and more is on the way.

Please get off my back with the fanboy cluelessness.

"We realize now that many of the problems with OOTP 2006 and a great deal of the disappointment it engendered could have been prevented or minimized with an open beta, as it is now clear that far more than just a small cadre of testers are needed to test a game of this scope. Accordingly, all future versions of OOTP will have an open beta so that such problems can be minimized in the future."

No, you are. I'm biting.

Folks, I'm locking this. It's just turning into another "You're a fanboy" "No I'm not!" argument, and it's certainly not accomplishing anything.

Have a nice evening!
