Sorry about that, now edited. However, I'm sure the guys at Frictional can take it. Haha yea, i'm sure they can!

This isn't a 'whine', it's not 'entitlement', it's simply severe annoyance at your poor communication skills. Yea, FG actually pissing off potential customers instead of attract them. Can someone PM Jens so that he would think about this?

The way Frictional is handling this right now seems pretty antisocial to me - surely it can't be hard to throw an actual update or two occasionally? RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - Bridge - 05-22-2013 There's also the possibility that there is nothing to report. I can't believe you guys are accusing them of disrespecting their fans. They are under no obligation to give you anything and yet they have been leaving fun little puzzles/poems to hold you over until they are finished. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now and assume that they really are hard at work ironing out bugs and polishing the game, or doing something. As you guys have already observed, this radio silence so to speak is doing nothing but damage them - so surely they are not doing it on purpose. RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - plutomaniac - 05-22-2013 Don't PM Jens for idiotic things guys... RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - Statyk - 05-22-2013 For crying out loud guys, go do something! Sitting here complaining about not having a release date IS NOT going to make it come any sooner. Have patience! It'll be done when it's done. Because anytime someone rushes something for its fans, it turns out bad, then they complain about it. Seriously, some of you are becoming too arrogant, and I think it's better if you just play another game to distract the time or do something else in general. I find it amazing how nuts some people are getting over this... It's ridiculous. Also, please do not PM Jens about it. It's not like they know it right now and are just waiting for someone to ask. THEY WILL TELL US. Go do hobby stuff. RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - AlexCarlson - 05-22-2013 Think positive. If AAMFP came out like 2 months ago or so then we would already have played it. Right now you wouldn't have an amazing game to be excited about. RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - bluel0bster - 05-22-2013 What annoys me most of all is that the devs seem to find time to write lengthy blog posts on other games (http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2013/05/thoughts-on-slender-arrival.html, [url]http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2013/04/thoughts-on-bioshock-infinite.html[/url]) which they obviously have spent a fair amount of time playing, but can't take 5 minutes out of their busy schedule to let us know how the game is coming along. Sure, they don't OWE us anything per se, but this is a competitive market and they need our money. Other game devs have no problem giving tons of information to fans, that's what cultivates a strong community. FG literally hasn't told us anything in THREE MONTHS (officially), but in those three months have posted 5 (really) long posts on game development and narrative. Is it so difficult for them just to say something on twitter along the lines of, "Hey guys, sorry you haven't heard from us, thanks for patiently waiting, we are currently working on blah, blah blah..." 5 minutes. Max. Just a little communication. That's all we need. We are not asking for the game to be released tomorrow. We are not asking for a release date. We just want to know what they're up to with the game, even if that means more delays. This silence is unjustifiable.

Exactly! RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - Fewer21 - 05-22-2013 (05-22-2013, 06:44 PM)Statyk Wrote: For crying out loud guys, go do something!

Good Guy Statyk most people didnt ask for the release now, we are just asking for information on what is going on about the game You have to realise that there has be no information for about 3 Months T.T |
