I understand your frustrations. I have them myself.I am a paying customer. Just because someone is here doesn't mean that they aren't, lol. It's nice to have somewhere to talk about things like this every once in a while where you don't immediately get drowned out by fanboys.
You know what irks me? Inconsistency.
Posted on the 25th: "“We’re a week out from the Supergirl update”, when stated on a post that went on out Sept 23, would mean release is slated for Sept 30th! You know, at the end of the month, like it has been for nearly FOUR FREAKIN YEARS! (Wonder if we could hire Foamy to rant to these people who can’t do 23 + 7 or simply read bolded roadmap timelines…)"
Posted on the 27th: "That being said, we have decided to release the Supergirl update for free. Patrons and non-patrons alike will have access to the same version of the game when it is updated on September 30th. For the first time in four years, both the patron and public builds will be simultaneously up-to-date on the latest version."
Do those say sep 30th - oct 6th? No they don't. They explicitly say 30th. You're analogy isn't comparable. A comparable analogy would be like saying you were going to show up somewhere between 3-4 a week before hand, then saying every few days that it will be 3, then on the day of you show up at 3:50 and say "but I said 3-4".
If you say 30th and only 30th in the week leading up to it, multiple times, people are going to expect 30th. Not hard to understand why people would be upset when you don't meet that deadline.
Honestly, this whole "window" thing has just been a way to try to avoid criticism. And it doesn't even work.
As someone who frequently does IT projects U can tell you you can plan for almost every scenario but you have to understand that you can not account l things that are beyond your control. Things like internet going down fall into that category
It's unfortunate but it just means they will try harder to meet tomorrows deadline
