> Damn. The negativity in here is weird. What is it with gamer's that they just want to shit all over things?
What is the proper reaction when someone spends years promising things they almost certainly can't deliver? The game that they're describing sounds amazing, but it also sounds beyond the ability of a large team to deliver, let alone a tiny one. As others have mentioned, this isn't the first time that we've been down this road, nor the second, nor the third. So it's hard to get excited when we know what's most likely at the other end.
Maybe someday we'll be able to develop the game that they're advertising, and that they're going to charge people real money for. But 2015 is probably not that year.
