Well, there are quite a few conjectures and assumptions made about our intent and motivations to do anything at all. It's hard for me to try to answer every point, or defend or clarify anything here. I might have to write a 5 page essay. So, if anyone has any concerns about our intent or motivation behind anything, please feel free to reach out to me directly. And I can try my best to answer them, preferably in a more conversational format. It's just more efficient for me.
For the hate stuff. I don't mind hate directed towards us, we're pretty used to it. Does it bother us sometimes? Of course. We are people. But it's the nature of being a game developer and the nature of service. It's not a big deal. But seeing the hate by people directed at each other is sad for me. People have divergent view points, and are willing to share them on the forum. Forum is a very public space, and disagreement can become heated. But just because people disagree, I don't think it needs to or should devolve into hate. Let's do better.
And there are some comments about us wondering in the woods aimlessly for the last 2 years, and that actually gets me fascinated. Give me a bit, and let me pull up our release history, and I'll go over that with everyone.
@Magkel, just in case you're using steamspy, let me give you a quick stat correction for your reference. The avg play time is actually 13hr 4min. Not sure why Steamspy displays that incorrectly, but just fyi. I have the data from Steam's dev analytics, so that should be accurate. Also please keep in mind that that owners number include all beta and alpha key activations, so that number largely duplicates.
Thanks everyone, Howard
