Man--I am not saying get this thing out ASAP. My concern is this looks just like EIA. A classic game that didn't have the resources put behind it to make it work. and it means no other publisher will try it if it fails.
and man--nowhere did I insult anybody. What I said was I said a year ago this project felt like it needed like a team of 2 or more at least coding it based on how I was reading those progress reports. what did I get back--oh that would slow me down because of these special circumstances. Do you not think I have heard that one before?
The best way to refute my point maybe is some of the beta testers to come out saying the game is in good shape and that our concerns are ill founded.
Something that would make me feel better is...
"Hey there are some bugs we found but the overall game play, balance, rule implementation and scope are incredible and the best WWII game I've seen".
Like I want to see something that is on par or better than paradox game.
My fear at this point is the game I loved as a kid is going to come out badly and no publisher will try to relauch it cuz it turned out bad commercially.
That's not about --lets make it come out soon. In fact--i'd rather it never come out by this publisher if its going to be bad.

I'd add that this is the kind of complaining that brought EiA to the players in a non finished looking state.ORIGINAL: Jagdtiger14
Funny how no one wants to answer you? The predicted dates bounce between the Origins convention and Christmas. The last 'official' prediciton was Christmas 2008, but someone with quasi-authority wrote recently 'around Christmas', which leads me to guess it will be Origins 2009 at the earliest.

The EiA forums were full of that, all year long, for years. Only complaining people.
Let's keep on ignoring that and keep making the game advancing.
Froonp...my only complaint I had at that point was that no one was answering the guy...how you can extend that to the EiA debacle is kind of crazy. How ever long it takes this product to come out...thats what it takes...I'm not saying it should be rushed out at all! I would however prefer to see honest projections. I agree with flipperwasirish concerning the value of differing opinions, seeing possible bits of brilliance in them, and the fredom of speach required to get at a good product that we all want to see...I would think this obvious. "glad handers" mentioned by wargameplayer are rampant in here (probably pasternakski chief amoung them, and by the way I extend my middle finger at him)...and while Steve deserves a pat on the back and encouragement...I also see him wasting time on useless posts in this forum (ie, politics, fantasy release party, etc...)...why would the programmer bother with this useless crap???
