Up to date beta patch info..

Freyland,

Your attack is uncalled for.

If you had been a fan of SEIII you would know the history behind SEIV. SEIV was delayed many times because it wasn't finished and MM has a high quality standard - the best I have seen from ANY company. We the customer put extreme pressure on MM to release the game even if it is not ready - with comments like - we don't care about features or bugs just release the game.

MM agreed that SEIV would be released minus some features (like a good AI) as long as it had no obvious bugs. But MM also stated that they would continue to support the game with numerous patches to add these features and also fix any bugs that were discovered.

So do not attack MM for releasing an unfinished game - attack the large vocal customer base that demanded MM release the game unfinished.

The big difference between MM and ALL other companies is that MM will keep their word and finish the game, while all the other big companies just take your money and run.

I was against an early release, but am now glad MM did it. The game is fun to play in its current state, but more important MM listens to and incorporates our suggestions. Yes we are all beta testers, but unlike other companies, MM actually listens to and uses our input. A game designed to specific customer specs is the best game there can be.

So be patient. If you do not want to play now, come back in 6 months and then drool at the game - but then don't complain that an important feature wasn't added because you choose not to participate.

The game support from MM is the standard that All other companies should copy, so be happy that you are getting the best support on the market.
