Gents/Ladies, I am not disagreeing with the viewpoint, I simply think that we should harbour it in PM's between each other. That we have an obligation to keep these boards a place of optimism and that we are here to promote the worth of this game and to encourage new players and younger ones to continue the support of Epic.
If you think that this is bad, you should see the level of the emails being thrown around!
I have long resigned myself to the fact that SG games in general, and Epic as an example, will simply never produce the right sales figures or potential or whatever is desired. That is simply a fact. I dont think that sales are the full story.
You are correct in some ways. We should be more upbeat about the game - we all do love it and care about it, after all. However, even new players should be aware of the situation that they are getting into. I would rather less players went into the game with their eyes open, than more players spnding money and then regretting their decision and bad-mouthing their experience.
The problem is that nothing changes. Announcements come and go, plans are made, and the games drops further off the radar.
