@cosmicturtle333 - Thank you. Let's also not forget we went for a 10-day stretch at the end of last month where not one post was made here from anyone at CG.
I'm not sure what the point of these threads is. Okay, they are posting a bit more and communicating with us. That's great, honestly, glad to see it. But my instinctive reaction is pretty much always the same: "do they want a cookie?"
I work for a company that makes much of its revenue from a complex software product. Our customers don't call us up bowing and scraping when we communicate with them: it is expected. Only in gaming forums do I see constant obsequiousness (your word for the day, look it up) just because developers make a few posts.
There are people here who have spent enough money on this game to buy a used car and fuel it for a year. The default should be good communication. It shouldn't be something we have to nag for and then act all grateful over when it happens.
So, yes, I am glad they are communicating with us. No, I will not be carving any statues.
