VBARhino Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Some of the impatience in this thread is baffling, did any of you stop to possibly think that a possible delay would be due to the COVID-19 pandemic? ED devs are people too, and just because there isn't news coming out of Russia about COVID doesn't mean they haven't been hit with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmedges Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 It would be a bigger penalty to release buggy software that wasn't ready because of deadlines or announced dates because your customers will only tolerate that kind of approach for so long.... You don’t miss deadlines because you accurately plan. Why should those customers not accept that approach but they should accept ED’s?

I work in software development to and you would be suprised how accepting customers are towards buggy software but missing deadlines is usually worse. Time to market is usually prioritized higher than having a complete feature set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmedges Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) The difference is ED is still here, the Dev of your Hawk run away with your money and refused to give ED the source/required material to complete the mess they left behind after running away. So, get over it or "hunt" the former Dev down and annoy them with your Hawk. What they should of done is refund everybody’s money that went into that mess. It’s not the customers job to vet third party developers, it’s ED’s. They should have taken responsibility for it.

theIRIEone Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 It would be a bigger penalty to release buggy software that wasn't ready because of deadlines or announced dates because your customers will only tolerate that kind of approach for so long.... The difference is that we're in a niche genre, not much (proper) competition. You gotta be passionate to deal with that kinda stuff on this level of detail ED is providing, and most companies are just out there for the money grab. Not saying ED is a company shying financial profit, but i think you get my point: Lack of direct / proper competition automatically means that hickups at release -as well as delays of release dates- will be more tolerated, because will you just stop what you are passionate about due to something freshly released into EA, that can be patched anyways? No you won't. I think at the end of the day we're happy that there is a company equally passionate about this stuff as we are, providing us with insanely detailed simulations of our favorite aircraft, even if not perfect - but constantly being worked on! I write that while being unhappy about various things myself, but that's nothing to be discussed in this threat imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hein22 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Don't overthink it, it's not as bad as you might think, but Kate is trying to be more hands-on, and the Supercarrier information, and other things she will be sharing she wants to engage with everyone. Delayed it is. Stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglewings Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 You're are so right. This hype has gotten the worse of us.
