Well wait a minute, now.
You just gave me this big speech on how it's so difficult for one person, etc., etc., etc. ....
And now you are
agreeing with me that there's a possibility
[not me -- I say
definately] that this will never see the light of day?!?
And don't you think that I am more than well aware that this is a one man job
and all the work that that entails?
Don't you think I
know that?!?
My problem is why say release date, after release date after release date, meet none of them,
then offer lame bullspit excuses as to
why all of them have come & gone?
Or, 3 years into it, keep posting videos that say "Ooh lookie at the water effects on an iPhone 3GS!1!11!" -- a
3GS .... -- as if that's some sort of this major development milestone that's been met.
Or coming up with some wild, cockamamie scheme on how
"1942: Battle Over The Paciic" is the real star here
and that the proceeds from
that will be used to fund WOTA's development,
when now neither "1942"
nor WOTA aren't anywhere near not being
years
[that's "years", with an "s", as in "2 or more"] away from even a beta,
so now he's scrambling to foist this garbage on us on how WOTA was all along meant to be a series
and this mini-sim is just the first in that series blahblahblah ....
Look ....
I was as enthused & jazzed-up about this just as much as you, if not moreso.
But you can only be kicked in the teeth so many times before you respond.
When it was
so obvious -- and very early on, too -- that this was never gonna get done,
did he simply come out and admit that?
Oh, no ....
He just kept piling on the promises until it all finally collapsed in on him,
thus bringing us to this "First In A Series Mini-Sub" nonsense.
This is Mission Impossible/Daikatana/Duke Nukem Forever/Cliffs Of Dover all rolled into one.
That's my point.

What's my "stake"?!?
I'm a potential customer.
How's that?

Didn't have to.
What's written here's zweite hand.
I experienced all of this on the frontlines.

Oh, come, come now ....
What's
your "stake" in defending the indefensible?
And I've been reading SubSim regularly since 2006.

You see, that's where you're wrong.
As I said, I am a potential customer.
I am the
only one he's accountable to.

Rather than address
one of my statements, you seem to be agreeing with me by, instead, saying:
"Well, what your saying's true, but he doesn't owe you any explanation!"
Tell ya what ....
Hows about you & me making a friendly wager, hmm?
What is this, Spring 2013 we're in now, right?
I say come Spring 2014, we're still talking about this.
Deal?

The "If You Complain, You're A 'Troll' " stupidity.
Gee, I thought the folks here at SubSim were above that ....

Anger?!?
More like stabbed-in-the-backness.
And I guess only professional Hollywood industry people
are the only ones "allowed" to critique movies, huh?
But I will say this: if I was fortunate enough to be able to code in iOS,
I absolutely would not go about it the way
this guy is.
I'd keep my yapper shut until product was debugged,
up & ready to go in the App Store.
Then I'd go to the appropriate places online & promote the stuffing out of it.
That's what
I'd do ....
