Missouri_Rebel -> The One Thing Keeping Me On The Fence (11/15/2018 6:51:29 PM)

I never knew the free version of the game so I have a limited grasp on its evolution. That said, it surely looks innovative in many ways and fresh in its approach. I wish it was WWII. Cold war and modern has never really grabbed me too much because of the 'if you see it, it dies' aspect. Maybe I'm wrong about that and there are indeed slugfests that can degrade to a closer engagement? I'm not sure. I'm leaning on a purchase but the thing that keeps me from pressing Buy Now is a concern for another Matrix title that was also a hobby title until release and that is Tigers on the Hunt. I really enjoyed that game for quite some time, warts and all, just for the fact it played like a simplified Squad Leader title. The Modding community has been great also BUT, it has never progressed past its initial state. All releases since it came out are scenario packs. No UI updates, no ease of use improvements, no added features etc and it seems like the developer is not interested in tweaking the game to add features. it is almost exactly the same this many years later. It is a diamond in the rough that was never cut and polished beyond its initial discovery.
With this being a hobby product also, and one that has been worked on for ages, my fear is that it will be the same. Maybe I'm just used to games like Graviteam Tactics where dlc's are released with MAJOR updates and added features. Even their time between dlc's are spent adding features and user defined wishes, all from a small team.
If a game takes this many years to materialize, is there any hope for feature updates in a timely manner? Or will it become a stagnating TotH?
