Elainaba, or Dan, is a developer who sticks his input and informs us what shape the world will be and you guys attack him, not cool. This isn't about DRM or Ubisoft, so why flip and turn it on him?
I don't care if you or anyone else will buy it, I will, because Dan's my friend. And maybe if he comes to the next subsim meet, I'll have him sign my copy.
When I first met him in the 2008 meet, I told him that he was like a celebrity, that just saying he was a game developer we should be asking for his autograph and getting our picture taken with him. I still feel this way, as he has put MANY hours into the Silent Hunter series. 3, 4 (and add-ons), and now 5, he's kept the series alive, and I have full faith that if you like 3 or 4, SH5 will be right there with it.
Martes and I were also there at the meet this year, where we saw real game footage being played by the developers. We saw and heard things that little 5 minute clips, or screenshots can't do. Dan also explained the modability of things such as the GUI using Python scripts.
Dan is also human, as all the other developers are. Treat them with respect. This is my first and last post concerning this, as it should be common sense.
