Okay. So I want to make it clear, I am not defending gunsmoke for his wortk ethics. So many delays and so much content being pushed back to the next update is not good.
However, looking at some peoples complaints... I think he did the best thing he could.
Yes, this update was delayed. With probably half or less content that was promised. But... how long WAS the delay? Five days. What he probably did was realise there where TOO many bugs/issues and, instead of keeping people waiting for weeks, cut the 'tumour' out and handed out what he had so he could spend time fixing the issue without giving 'nothing'
It is not ideal, it is not what people wanted, but it is probably the best he COULD have done. THIS TIME at least.
But seriously, he does need to get over his ego and actually let others help him/fix the dumpsterfire that is his code at this point. I swear, if he had a good basis, then this issue wouldn't keep happening. I do not think he is 100% greedy and lazy, just a lot of pride and ego mixed in with greed and lazy. I feel like if his foundation wasn't so bad, he'd have a much easier time.
