To the OP's original topic in the last 2 days you have seen 2 developers and LD2k respond in some threads here explaining a few things as well as taking some feedback. I think thats a positive step in responding to some (including myself) of the "community disappointment". I know we would all like to know what the future holds and their plans moving forward, but they obviously can't speak on that. I for 1 am happy to see some of the developers chiming in and answering some concerns or questions we had as well as stating that they are listening to all the ideas and taking notes for next years games. This only means they are listening to both the good and the bad reviews from the community. That is a HUGE positive and step in my eyes moving forward.
