Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2

[MyRedNeptune]

I'm more curious about what on earth Frictional are up to rather than an exact release date. Message to Frictional: just keep us updated for crying out loud. Lack of information just adds to the annoyance and is seriously ticking off some of your potential customers. This isn't a 'whine', it's not 'entitlement', it's simply severe annoyance at your poor communication skills.

I've used this analogy before but I'll use it again: let's say you're stuck in a train in a long dark tunnel. You have no idea WHY you're stuck and none of the train staff can be arsed to tell you. Not knowing what is going on just adds to the irritation of those who are also stuck on the train. However, if a member of the train staff announces exactly what is going on and keeps the people updated every 15 minutes or so then it lessens the irritation considerably. It doesn't get you out of the tunnel any faster, but at least you know what on earth is happening and that lessens the stress and annoyance, it also makes you feel that the train company CARES.

Obviously Frictional really don't give a monkeys about us sitting here grinding our teeth. Come on guys, give us a progress update please, and keep on giving us progress updates on at least a weekly basis. No spoilers are expected or are necessary - I for one don't want any spoilers.

Well put. I have a similar impression as well. 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?
