Jimmer -> Complaints (12/9/2007 3:09:40 AM)

Guys, something I think we need to remember: Marshall put a LOT of effort into writing this game. Yes, it needs work. But, it's also a very interesting piece of software, trying to port one of the most complicated games ever to PC. I think he has done a great service. Perhaps we should think of how we would feel if we were in Marshall's shoes: 4 years effort, and nothing but complaints. I wouldn't be doing well if that happened to me. Probably most of you wouldn't either. I think he has done an excellent job. Remember, this is version 1. Not 1.x, 1, period. There WILL be bugs. I've decided I'm going to change my attitude: I asked myself the question: Would you pay $100 for the privilege of 1) Being a beta tester, and 2) Making it more likely that one of your favorite games gets finished? My answer is yes. For those of you who haven't played the board version, I can understand your reluctance, because you haven't grown to love the game. And, it IS hard to play, even on the board. Let's consider this what it is: The start of something great. We have an opportunity to be in on the ground floor of something big. Would you pay for the privilege of playing the new version of Dungeons & Dragons? Or, if Advanced Squad Leader were ported? Or, any of a hundred other games? In many cases, yes, I would. What game EVER was perfect the first time it came out? Let's think of this as a work in progress, and give some credit for a job well done, even though it's not finished yet.
