Default Re: Repeat request.

Okay, I understand.
The pictures been painted well now.

What I thought was that the Hardcores were keeping the Devs from putting in this feature.

If the Devs honestly feel like not putting features that the people want just because they disagree with it, well then it makes no point standing on the principle.

I personally thought that line of thinking was non-existent, but then again, this line of thinking screwed games over a good number of times with games that had a little magic in it (to name a few, Black and White 2, the Superpowers, Heroes IV, and Master of Orion 3)

While real Indie Succeses like Gal Civ 2 make sure to include as many desires as possible to the people want in some form of variation or another. Which is why it isn't indie anymore.

I mean right now, I could go to the Forums, make a request, and honestly, it would be given thought and love. Even features they deemed "too much" intially for the Exp, was inevitably implemented!

To bring this to a close and justify my actions (to a lesser extent). All I was doing was requesting an commoditiy that a fairly good number of people want. If they say no. (which I haven't necessarily heard yet) Cool. I'll just sell my game and in theory they lose one customer.

All I am stating is that if the Devs, not the Cores (or in this case, both) decide to FORCE features THEY want rather then trying to appeal to good folks, I can see D going up to five and inevitably making some of the features that people want or seeing D5 crash or seeing D go to six and by then everyone's board of it, new kids get on the block, it's over.

W/e, im not fricken Nostradamus, but I am most definetly stating the obvious and the general statements about my complaints are in fact true.

Look at it from an opposite direction for a minute. What happens when the Publishers go against what the people want...total disaster commercially.

What happens when the Devs refuse to do what the people want, they no longer get paid anymore.

Sincere Regards,
Me.

PS: I appreciate your response Taqwus, really do.
