A bad rumor

There's an official announcement on Malfadors site saying the next patch will be out in a few weeks:

I also heard he's actually stopping to eat from time to time as well. Is this true?

I'd add HPS Simulations to the list, particuarly for their Tigers on the Prowl series, which went about 30 patches before a new Version for sale (3 times), with many new features and fixes per patch, etc.

I'll throw my 2cents in. Only this game and one other (Combat Mission) have shown this kind of dedication and customer support. Unless one of those big jerks can do this (and I doubt they would/could) my hard earned $$ go to Aaron/Malfador/Shrapnel and Battlefront/Big Time.

Hail the independents!

Well if it is true, he's breaking the contract. It was explicitly stated that he was not permitted solid foods until patch 7.45 was completed.
The drip feed should be more than enough, it's peanut butter flavoured so don't say we never give him anything.

(I am in no way affiliated with shrapnel or MM and any strategy or contractual changes arising from this post are not my responsibility..... Sorry Aaron.)

Please make sure Aaron is aware that he has so many people who appreciate his efforts.

thanks,
