The rest of your post is valid, but I'll zero in on this. Being the annoying literalist I am, we really don't know how much time Steve requires to do his CM development work, and how much time is "lost" by his - let's call it customer relations role, as that is surely what it is. You used the term disengenuous in your post; I think perhaps you're being a little of that yourself, perhaps for comic effect.If Steve had spent less time yakking at his customers the last seven years of CM2 development and instead listening to them, he might have actually shave a little time off CMN.
I just meant that you suggest CM:N is being harmed by Steve not spending enough time on it, when really, we have no idea and no way of knowing what the issues holding up release are. Indeed, we've all confessed to not even knowing what Steve's role actually is. From my perspective its quite possible all the conceptual stuff is "done" - having been done for CM:BO - and Steve's role is entirely fulfilled by doing nothing but talk on the forum. So it seems a little disengenuous to me to suggest that Steve is holding up the release of the game by talking "too much" on the forum. I'm presuming the comment was meant in jest, but very often your posts are made without any cues to indicate they were intended as humour.MD, I have no idea how I am being disingenuous. Please explain. I think I am pretty frank in my post, not just pretending to be frank.

Ackkk--it's awful. They are making Dale look like a near genius, albeit a beer besotted one!Another month ends and still no sign on the horizon of any of the 2 promised new games and one new module. Not even a hint at when we will be playing them. Over 3 years for one game and over a year for a new small add-on. Makes you wonder how long they can go without getting something out.
Linkage?Latest post by Scipio in the Pie in the Sky thread says it pretty well.
