Just a side note, quoted from Scawen who posted this just now:
A note about timing, it will definitely not be released fully this week, there is too much to do still. Patch X release should be around Friday 11 May or a week later on Friday 18 May.
Well, to Ian. H. It's somehow different to your website case, the devs havent made any promise nor any contracts with us regarding his job. What we bought is the contents that is already existed, what other patches or updates that come after your purchasing of license is like an extra.
More also, using the same concept, we can't expect anything from the devs for S3, this is simply because we haven't purchased the S3 license. Once it is released, we will buy the S3 license and we will get the contents that come along with the first S3 patch, and well, that's it. No contracts, regulations or whatever promises from the devs to state that they will further update S3, just like we bought S2.
I hope I am not sounding offensive to you, I clearly understand your point. And if you feel any offensive from me, I hereby apologize to you. Ya, I am fairly new to this community as you can look at my registration date. Therefore, at this moment, I haven't any complaints yet. However, I do understand your position and concern, and you have stated a strong point that most patches have been done be Scawen. He is doing a good job, but for eye-candies and some high-res graphics that all of us expect from Eric, does somehow do not have any clue about them. Yep, 53 weeks from the last update from Eric is a long time. It is, and DX7 is already out-dated. Maybe they want to keep the older computers on running LFS? Well, that isn't a point. For me, I am also looking forward for Scawen rewriting the code to get advantage of the dual core processor. He has stated that it is on his list, but need to take any a month to do so.
Well, last but not least, this is one of the best threads that I've ever seen in this forum. Despite the funny team recruiting threads at the team section, there are still too many pointless threads. Keep this one as a clean and high-quality discussion.
