Well, I mean... There's been a lot of blind defense of OOTP and Markus in this thread and on this forum, which is to be expected of course, given that we all love the game and are loyal to it.
However, read the OP's post again. Was he that unreasonable with his requests? Not really. He could have done without some of the attitude, but if you think about it, updates would help the game just as much as they would please us. This has already been mentioned by someone else in this thread, but any news is only going to drive up purchases.
Me, I'm going to buy the game regardless of news, and I'm going to wait and enjoy it and all that. But not everyone is a loyal customer, remember. Our forum here really only represents a small sect of buyers of OOTP- those who are passionate enough about OOTP to take the time to actually talk about regularly. So, naturally, most of the posts here are going to lean more towards unfairly praising the game, rather than unfairly criticizing it. I think we just need to not get so defensive when someone questions one of the marketing, or even gameplay, tactics that Markus puts into place. It's going to happen, because not every customer is like, well, the majority of us here.
Just my $0.02.
(And I do agree that Markus shouldn't waste time replying to these posts, even though I think someone should be charged with the task of OOTP
PR.)
