[QUOTE="Nik Barbour, post: 34362"] I didn't say they were greedy. I said they were either incompetent, or greedy. I don't know which one it is. And I can't think of another reason to explain how the handling of xbox dlc has been done (and I would welcome other suggestions, if you can clear Farsight in this - I'd love to forgive them personally). The incompetence route pretty much explains itself. The greed route (just to define this) would be Farsight, using the Xbox as the lead development platform as we know they do (I believe Xbox is easier or more friendly to develop on, its in their interest to use this platform - correct me if this is wrong). Then realising they couldn't comply with MS's strict rules and patching policy pre release, but despite having promised regular dlc, they would think.... Sack it, release the initial tables, use our free patch after 2 or 3 months, avoid all questions for a further 2-3 months, then finally come clean at the last minute before another dlc was expected to be released, having made as many sales as they could before they would have to start laying out 40k lumps. Sound Familiar? I meant greed (or maybe dishonesty is a more accurate term) from a point of, knowingly releasing TPA with regular update promises, knowing it couldn't be achieved, then pulling out or coming clean before you have to start laying out the 40K charges. Not from personally exploiting me individually. Either way, unless another explanation can be made for their handling of this, the 2 explanations I can think of don't enamour me to Farsight, Hence the pulling of support. (again not that my single support will matter to them - before someone points this out) I don't want to get into a written battle, I'm done on this - and I expect to be out-voiced 10 fold (I'm on a fan forum). But I've spoken my mind (and satisfied the Northerner in me). I am genuinely pleased you are all still getting as much pleasure out of this as you appear to be. I hope this will be sorted satisfactorily, but, until it is, no more support from me. I wasn't sure if Mike was hinting at some kind of solution in his above post - damn non-disclosure! I do in its current state, and even if I walk away, will continue to enjoy the TPA tables on Xbox and won't delete all Software out of spite. I still like the game, despite the bugs, and un-realistic level of difficulty compared to the real thing, otherwise I wouldn't still be here asking for their resolution plans - its just seriously dented my faith in supporting Farsight. The "Please Vote now, to show your support" post tipped me over the edge this morning. [/QUOTE]
