As far as I know Farsight is an independent development studio which is doing its first self-published multi-platform release, which is a huge undertaking - even for a download market. They seem to be banking the future of the company on putting out a niche product, which is a smart move during a time when the kind of work-for-hire dev work they used to do was already starting to shift to Eastern Europe and beyond, without the economic downturn that's happened.It's pretty clear they don't have the staff levels such that they can deliver updates to all platforms simultaneously, so I figure they're focusing on the platforms that they get the most/quickest return from. I very seriously doubt they have a dedicated PR person on staff who can deal with the social networking stuff. Any admin person is likely doing multiple jobs relating to HR, contracts, publishing, etc.I really think people should cut them some slack, because I seriously doubt a major publisher would even bother with licensed tables at all as it just wouldn't be worth it to them. I'm just happy to see continuing support for some platforms and the promise of more to come on others. I suppose they could be more transparent (hopefully the Q&A thread helps with that), but honestly they don't owe us anything. A kickstarter campaign is like charity - it's not an IPO.</blockquote>
