I understand. I guess I'm lucky because I refused to buy it until the DRM was gone, and now it's almost two years later, and I've read all the complaints only to buy it and find it's not nearly as bad as I expected. In fact, while it's not quite my cup of tea yet, with all the mods it's actually pretty good if you take it for what it is and don't compare it with something it's not.
The ones I feel sorry for in all this are Dan and his team. Sometimes things just don't work out like you plan them, and they're the ones caught in the middle of it all. Maybe they made some mistakes, and maybe they were the victims of outside pressure. I don't know and don't really care. They deserve better than what they've recieved.
I'm not blaming you for complaining. It's your right and your duty to complain. I'm just venting.
