I find it amazing how so many seem to almost deify these Devs, so many get so upset that the almighty Dev never answers their prayers, and getting bitter about how others might still have faith,
Why else would you throw out "maybe one day DC will notice you" as a jab (you're not the first and won't be the last to let this slip).
None of
Omnikuken's postulation has been unreasonable, Milking can always be a possible factor, but it is a lazy accusation to present on it's own that demonstrates a limited understanding of all the other more likely shit that can go wrong with a project.
Higher on my list of possible reasons why this update is taking so long
- Bad work ethic (one or more of the team slacking)
- Bad project management (the ability to gauge work loads/schedules is a skill many of these Devs seem to lack)
- Limited Skills (of one or more of the team is out their depth)
- Fixing stuff can be harder/slower that starting from scratch
- Something got broken with this tech update (might be Code, might be Art)
- All the normal real life shit that interferes with normal 9-5 work.
DC isn't helping himself with bad communication, but it's not an obligation so, meh!
