ORIGINAL: Numdydar You have to stop looking at the past. Mistakes were made, obviously. However, the important thing is Steve is still actively working on the game and has no signs of stopping. There are plenty of other games that only have one person working on them and you do not see this kind of response to just having one person doing the coding. Of course the advantage they have, and it is a HUGE one, is that they can develop the game however they want. They do not have to follow an existing rule set designed for physical play. Plus I am sure their code is not something someone else can pick up and take over from either. Will NetPlay work at some point Yes. Will their be an AI, Yes. Will it be this year? Who knows. But again the important thing is that the game IS being improved, progress will continue to be made, and life will go on. It took 8 years to get here and people should be thrilled we actually got to this point. I know I am. I still say without a release, the game STILL would have been released with major issues simply because the number of options and different ways to play are impossible for such a small team to discover. So we are definitely much better off than if we had even waited another year or even two for a release. Just imagine the issues if the game HAD released with an AI with all the issues we currently have. From a programing point of view, it is MUCH better to fix all these issues without an AI than with one. Because if something messes up with the AI, you know it is the AI code itself and not the underlying game engine. I'm sorry you feel so bad about the game Bo, but just take a deep breath and chill. Just know that I do not share your viewpoint and I too paid full price for the game (and have zero regrets about doing so. Plus I had been unemployed for over 6 months so it was not like I had money to spare either.) Appreciate your response Numy, I respect your feelings but I have a strange feeling a lot of people who paid for this game might disagree with you, I hope not. I do not feel bad about the game, it is what it is, what I feel bad about is the date Nov 7th 2013. Also I thought we learn things from the past, guess not huh! PS. I have since your post did some rethinking about the $100 spent, I do not know about other countries but in the good old USA $100 does not buy much. You take your wife to dinner once in a awhile and you easily spend $100 not counting the baby sitter If I went to see the Phillies play or the Eagles play and took another person, counting food ,drinking Budweiser etc. your way over a $100 and what do you have for your money, sadness if your team lost, can't find your car in the gigantic parking lots, hung over from the deep aroma of Budweiser, fighting the traffic trying to get home. Valentines day $100 for roses for your girl friend, hmm on the other hand that might be worth it So maybe just maybe I have to concede that MWIF is a bargin for a $100 because you will have it for life, I know my life is in danger over that statement but at my age the only thing I have to fear is fear itself [heard that phrase somewheres] Bo
