Could always play regular Starships Unlimited... Or not.
Man I'm a loser, I'm taking all this time to get back into Counter-Strike.
Anyway, here's a bit of an economics-oriented method of encouraging Matrix to hurry the hell up:
Brand Loyalty is one of the most important features in markets like computer software. You release a patch quickly and if it is well-documented, people will think "Ooh, that Matrix Games company really has it together! If a game comes out from them, and it doesn't work right, I can feel confident that the problem will be fixed quickly!"
However, this is NOT what is the case here. What we have with Matrix Games right now is this: "Oh man, it's been MONTHS since that stupid problem was introduced into the game, and we've not gotten any patch, or any information from the publisher about when it will be fixed. I don't think I want to buy software from Matrix Games in the future!"
The same problem applies to trying to sell shares in the company (of course, MatrixGames might not work like this); if people are very confident in the company, and they feel they provide a good and well-maintained product, they're more likely to invest as individuals. However, when months go by with a known issue not being officially fixed, the idea of buying stock in the company never enters into their head.
Get on the stick Matrix. Your future depends upon it. Right now you're just a small-time publishing house. If you want to attract more investors, more customers, and more developer clients, you need to improve your system!
